Angry Birds Space Downloaded More Than 50 Million Times
Fans can't get enough of the angry avians.
It took only 35 days for Angry Birds Space to cross the 50 million download threshold, which Rovio says makes it the fastest growing mobile game to date.
That's nearly two weeks faster than OMGPOP's Draw Something, the previous trendsetter. But for Rovio, this isn't all about the numbers.
"While numbers like this certainly say something about the popularity of Angry Birds, for us the main goal is to keep creating fun new experiences that everybody can enjoy," Rovio said on its blog.
If you haven't succumbed to the allure of the Angry Birds yet, you can download the title on iOS, Android, Mac, or PC. To read what we thought about the latest game in the bird-flinging series, check out our review.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
