Electronic Arts is rather pleased with the success of its latest FIFA soccer game for iOS and Android, FIFA 14. BY any comparison, it’s garnered more than enough downloads to consider it a phenomenon.
According to the publisher, the game has been downloaded over 26 million times worldwide, which is nearly double how many downloads FIFA 13 got the year before at 14.5 million. Considering last year’s game wasn’t free, however, this year’s edition may not produce the same revenue. Then again, expanding the user base leads to the opportunity to monetize a much larger audience, and so far the game is scoring well on the Top Grossing charts.
Regardless, FIFA 14‘s success speaks volumes, as it managed to top the free iOS charts across 148 countries, and land in the Top Ten Grossing charts for 155 countries. That’s a goal clearly any soccer team can be proud of.
