Zynga, a leading developer of social games, is now seeing more than 10 million daily active users (DAU) across its games. Since the company’s launch in January 2008, Zynga has become the #1 Facebook application developer and the #1 social games developer across all social networking platforms.
Last month, Zynga became the top application developer on Facebook according to AllFacebook and AppData. Zynga leads with 40,819,426 monthly active users on AllFacebook and 40,483,500 monthly active users on AppData. Zynga continues to experience substantial growth across many of its most popular games such as Texas Hold’Em Poker, Mafia Wars, YoVille and Scramble, and is leading the social gaming space in DAUs.
“To think that a city the size of London is playing our games on a daily basis is incredible,” said Mark Pincus, CEO of Zynga.
“Our growth is a testament to the talents of Zynga game developers and their dedication to making fun and social games that everyone loves. The momentum we’re seeing indicates that the social gaming space is as significant as we expected it to be and that our games are touching the lives of people all over the world.”
Traction of Zynga’s games is also being more widely recognized by the industry. Mafia Wars, social gaming’s most popular crime-based game, was recently voted Best Game of the Year in the Webby People’s Voice Awards, where more than 50,000 votes were cast by people around the world for their favorite sites, video, and ads.
Hailed as the "Internet's highest honor" by the New York Times, The Webby Awards is the leading international award honoring excellence across different categories.
