The runaway hit mobile game Draw Something has been downloaded more than 50 million times in just 50 days, according to Zynga.
The game passed the 50 million download mark on Wednesday, after launching just two months ago, Zynga said. In its first six weeks alone, the Pictionary-like game, which is available for iPhones and Android devices, had already been downloaded more than 35 million times.
"We believe it's not only the fastest-growing original mobile game of all time – 50 days to hit 50 million downloads — but one of the fastest growing web sensations that we’ve seen," Zynga said in a statement.
Zynga last month bought Draw Something developer OMGPOP for an estimated $180 million, plus another $30 million for employee retention payments. As part of Zynga, the 40-person team at New York-based OMGPOP will now focus on building new mobile games and continuing to develop its existing titles.
"If you haven't played [Draw Something] already I highly recommend that you check it out, it's super fun," David Ko, chief mobile officer of Zynga, said last month on a call with reporters.
The game, which is available for free or $0.99 for the version without ads, also just regained its spot as the top paid app in the App Store, knocking off Angry Birds Space. It also currently sits atop the top free and top grossing lists. Since it was launched, more than 6 billion drawings have been created, Zynga said.
