Sackboy celebrates 7 millionth LittleBigPlanet level

LBP community still publishing 3.7 levels per minute.

More than seven million LittleBigPlanet levels have now been created by the game series' community.

That number includes maps made for the original LittleBigPlanet, LittleBigPlanet 2 and the PSP version, developer Media Molecule trumpeted.

Users are still publishing content at an astonishing rate: 37,641 levels were published last week alone. That's 5377 every day, or 3.7 per minute.

Media Molecule has celebrated by creating an infographic stuffed full of these kind of facts. Did you know, for example, that the developer has now hired 25 staff members from the LBP community, or that it has recieved 346 job applications from under-tens?

The LittleBigPlanet franchise has also scooped more than 100 prizes, including Eurogamer's prestigious Game of the Year accolade in 2008. There's more to come this year, of course, with LittleBigPlanet Vita and LittleBigPlanet Karting on PS3.
