Rocket-fueled by NSFW Skyrim add-ons, Nexus Mods hits the 10 billion downloads milestone
One of the world’s biggest modding platforms, Nexus Mods, has just smashed through the incredibly huge total of 10 billion total downloads across its entire catalogue of games. And yes, NSFW Skyrim mods definitely played a part in the achievement.
Apparently this is something the team behind Nexus Mods has had its eye on for a while (the milestone that is, not the NSFW mods), and it’s a cool way to see just how popular modding has become, even if it’s been a thing for a decently long time. There’s even been some interesting pizza maths done to put the numbers into context, which I’m about to try and shamelessly one-up by talking about smut.
In a news post, Nexus Mods community manager Demorphic explained: “These 10,000,000,000 downloads are spread across 539,682 mod files, created by a vibrant community of 128,361 mod authors, serving over 47 million total members, modding 2,683 different games.”
David Henry Looks to Achieve Another Olympia Milestone at the 2023 Masters Olympia Contest

Honkai: Star Rail hits 10 million pre-register milestone – just like Genshin Impact did
Honkai: Star Rail has soared past the 10 million pre-registered players milestone. This is just over a week ahead of release, and is also the same milestone Genshin Impact reached before its explosive launch back in 2020.
What’s especially interesting is not just the speed at which the next gacha RPG from Hoyoverse has managed to pull this off, it’s that the game has managed to do it without PlayStation pre-registration available. With that in mind, it looks as though Honkai Star Rail will have an astronomical day one playerbase, all of whom will surely appreciate a nice number of pre-reg rewards.
The game is set to provide all the familar perks that fans of Genshin Impact will like: an anime art style, numerous characters to use in combat and chat to through a engrossing single player story, and more. There’s also the gacha system of course, the most common method of obtaining new characters that demands a lot of free-to-play time or real world cash, so keep that in mind if you are planning on giving it a try.
