02 Nov Angry Birds Surpasses 500 Million Downloads
The fad that will not die is still going strong. Since its launch in December of 2009, mobile video game Angry Birds has now surpassed 500 million downloads, making it one of the most downloaded games in history.
The simple game created by Rovio requires users to sligshot wingless birds at structures in hope of toppling them.
For some reason, people love this.
“This is a fantastic landmark achievement for us, and we’re extremely delighted to see such an incredible amount of people enjoying our games,” said Mikael Hed, CEO of Rovio. “We remain committed to creating more fun experiences and bringing exceptional quality to Angry Birds Fans everywhere.”
With all its success, Rovio has branched out into Angry Birds merchandising with a retail shop and there’s even a movie rumored to be in the works.
Angry Birds is available for download on all platforms including iOS and Android. But if you have a mobile device you probably already have it.
