This chart shows how many new users are still playing X minutes after joining your experience for the first time. It compares the current period with the previous period.
For example, here’s how you can take action based on the chart above:
The percent of new users still playing after 5 minutes declined from 56% to 42% week over week.
With this insight, you could explore multiple causes for this drop
You could look into new user onboarding friction from a recent update.
You could look at error and performance reports to see if there has been any change in the performance and stability of your experience after a recent update.
This is going to be great for informed promotion strategies. I also bet a lot of devs would love to see specifically which sites/pages users are coming from. (e.g. YouTube, TikTok, etc)
We still haven’t a way to see the visits history of an experience, and we are unable to view analytics beyond 90 days, which is far too short of a timeframe for any experience that isn’t already doing so well it hasn’t to worry about analytics.
I would like to still be able to see the hourly and monthly visits. This has been the reason why I miss the old developer stats a lot. It gave an easy way to show how many players played during a certain month.
We thought about that, but decided to let the scale change because New Users behave very differently from Returning Users
It’s normal for some Experiences to have a much shorter session time for New Users than Returning Users.
If that’s the case any changes to your New User line won’t be discernable on the chart
Example Imagine new user=4min avg and returning =20min average
If New Users adds or reduces 30s, you won’t notice at a glance if the scale stays the same, but it might be a very big impact on whether those new users will come back the next day and a leading indicator that your D1 Retention is about to change
We have monthly active users in our engagement for you to see monthly data. It is rolling 30 days.
For hourly, we have the performance page that is more realtime to give you CCU value, we are planning to add total visits for realtime as well.
