Rovio announced this week that the increasingly popular Angry Birds games have been downloaded a total of 200 million times on various platforms.
The Angry Birds gaming franchise, which consists of the games Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasons and Angry Birds Rio, has seen a steady number of downloads in the first half of 2011. The games are currently available for smartphone platforms, PC and Mac.
"We have seen more growth and engagement with Angry Birds games and merchandise across all markets," said Mikael Hed, CEO of Rovio. "The growing numbers of fans give us more incentive to keep creating more fresh, fun and engaging Angry Birds experiences and making them available to everyone."
Last week, Angry Birds was launched on the web for the first time in the Chrome Web Store. The game can be played in a web browser, and offline play is available when installed from the Chrome Web Store. The web version attracted 6 million individual fans of the game in less than a week.
With over 3 million units sold globally and shipped to more than 100 countries, the demand for Angry Birds merchandising has also been growing.
Rovio is currently busy working on a social game based upon Angry Birds.
