Angry Birds player count same size as Twitter audience

Rovio has revealed that the monthly player count for ever-popular Angry Birds has reached 200 million, the same size as the audience for Twitter.

The Finnish developer has also seen Angry Birds games being installed onto various devices over two billion times.

"If you look at Rovio and what we've done over four years, there are now two billion copies of Angry Birds out there," Rovio CMO Peter Vesterbacka said at the Pocket Gamer Connects conference.

"Download figures tell you nothing about engagement, but we still have 200 million people playing Angry Birds every month, the size of the Twitter audience."

Vesterbacker also said that Rovio has some big plans for the future, and the Angry Birds juggernaut doesn't look like slowing down any time soon.

"What started as a little game is a major brand and franchise," he added.

"Our friends at Disney are still a bit ahead but our trajectory looks good. We're just getting started."
