Watch Dogs tops torrent sites, heavily pirated

26 May 2014

Watch Dogs is proving popular with more than just the gaming media – the new title from Ubisoft is topping most torrent sites in terms of highest seeded files.

A quick look at some of the more popular torrent sites revealed that the PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 versions of the game were being seeded and leeched the most in the games category, beating its rivals by a large margin.

As we state in the all our articles that focus on piracy: if you are illegally downloading or sharing a game, you are hurting the gaming industry. While it is sad to see a title being pirated pre-launch, it is an indication of the game’s popularity, and hopefully a sign it will do well in the sales charts.

Below are the torrent sites where Watch Dogs featured strongly. We show the game’s ranking on each site according to platform category.
