Zynga launched its online-based platform at Zynga.com in open beta form in March, and has seen rapid growth since. The site saw 1.7 million users in the month ending March, but that number has soared by over a million in April.

At the time of writing the website showed 1.17 million concurrent players online.

Draw Something sees 'dramatic drop' in players following buyout

App sensation down 5m daily users, according to data

Just two months after its developer was sold for $200m (£123m) to mobile giant Zynga, app sensation Draw Something has suffered a dramatic drop in players, figures have suggested.

According to data gathered by WebMediaBrands (via the BBC), Draw Something has dropped by almost five million daily users in the past month.

Monthly users are also beginning to drop after a huge spike in April, according to the data.

The figures show that between April 2 and May 2, Draw Something's daily active user count went from approximately 14.3 million people to 10.4 million.

The iOS and Android game has been downloaded more than 50 million times, which is said to have made it the fastest growing original mobile title ever.
