Nexon has released an infographic highlighting the key performance milestones of 'MapleStory Worlds' for 2025.

The annual revenue generated by creators building content on MapleStory Worlds reached 50.2 billion KRW last year, a 234% increase compared to the previous year. The number of creators generating revenue surpassed 10,000 teams, a five-fold increase from the year prior, and 12 teams achieved an annual revenue exceeding 100 million KRW.

Nexon expanded its creator support program, 'Maple Worlds Next', to 20 teams last year, doubling the number from 2024. The selected teams recorded a total revenue of 2.9 billion KRW throughout the year. Among the participants, 83% had less than three years of development experience, and 16% were newcomers with no prior development experience. This year, Nexon will continue to provide selected creator teams with a monthly development grant of $3,500 (approximately 5.06 million KRW) for six months.

MapleStory Worlds launched its global service in April last year across 197 countries, including North America, Europe, and Asia. This has helped the platform secure a cumulative total of 7 million users worldwide. It notably reached the number one spot on 'Bahamut', the largest local gaming community in Taiwan, and won the Gold Award for 'PC Game of the Year' at the 'Bahamut Game Animation Awards 2025'.

Additionally, through a collaboration with the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs for the 'Q-Play Archive' world, the platform operated 'Liberation Quiz' content to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Korea's liberation.

Shin Min-seok, General Director of MapleStory Worlds, stated, "2025 was a significant year where the passion of our creators and the engagement of our users proved the platform's global potential. In 2026, we will further strengthen our support for creators to take another leap forward as a sandbox platform built by everyone."
