Ski Safari 2 has gained 7 million downloads

The news that Ski Safari 2 has gained 7 million downloads in three months since its release may not be very remarkable against the background of the fact that the original project, according to the developers, has gained more than 140 million in 4 years.

But there is one important point here. Most of the installations of the first part, as it seems to us, fell on the Chinese market, where it was published by Yodo1 as a free game. In Western markets, Ski Safari, which first appeared on digital storefronts in the spring of 2012, was distributed as a paid application. And there are definitely not hundreds of millions there.

But the second part, which was released on Google Play as a free-to-play project, collects millions not only in China, where the same Yodo1 promotes. According to publicly available statistics, Ski Safari 2 has from 5 to 10 million downloads in the official Android store alone.

It is unclear how things are going with the cash register. On the App Store, they offer to pay $1.99 for the project. Apparently, the developers believe that such a monetization model on the App Store platform still makes sense.

By the way, in Western markets, Ski Safari 2 is published this time by the developer studio itself – Sleepy Z Studios, and not by a third-party team, as in the case of Ski Safari. Recall that the original was released by Defiant Development, well known for games such as Hand of Fate and Heroes Call.
