Naughty Dog recently revealed its latest project entitled The Last of Us last week during the VGAs.

In fact, if we were to base the reaction to DCUO‘s free-to-play transition on Facebook interactions, we could argue the game is already well on its way to being more successful than ever.

As promised, DC Universe Online is going free-to-play today. Sony Online Entertainment is working on the servers to convert everyone to the new free-to-play model. A new website will also be launched once the transition is complete. If you are going to play DCUO on PC, you can download the client right now.
