Key sporting event spurs mobile game downloads
July 15, 2010 — Global mobile media company, BuzzCity, delivered more than 8.3 million games to 14.8 million unique users across the world through its free mobile gaming portal Djuzz during June.
Prior to the World Cup, soccer games including 2008 World Soccer, Footballz, Euro Football, Footballz 2009 and Footballz Africa Edition averaged approximately a 64% growth in monthly downloads, but between May and June, this grew to an average of 709%.
Since January 2010, Djuzz has served 12.8 million games to a total of 22.6 million unique visitors and average daily users of the portal have now reached 490,000.
KF Lai, CEO of BuzzCity, said, “The impact of the World Cup on mobile games downloads across the world has been significant. Footballz 2009 had fallen out of the Top 10 but made a comeback this month with high downloads from users in South Africa, Ghana, Kenya and the US.”
