In 2009, Apple iOS users were the first to fling birds across their touch screens to crush green hard-to-reach pigs in the addictive game. Since then, Angry Birds has become one of the most profitable games in history.
On Wednesday, Mobile game sensation Angry Birds reached its 1 billionth download according to Rovio. This 1 billion count includes both free and paid versions of the video games on all platforms, covering all of the thematic variants:
“THANK YOU to all of our incredible fans! This is only the beginning of our story, keep your eyes peeled for what’s coming up next from Rovio!,” the company wrote in a brief blog post.
To celebrate their big win, Rovio created a short 21-second video to thank fans of the multi-colored, wingless birds. See below:
