What is Angry Birds?
Angry Birds is a mobile gaming franchise developed by Finnish game company Rovio Entertainment. First released on December 10, 2009, the original game introduced a physics-based puzzle format in which players launch birds from a slingshot to destroy structures and defeat pigs that have stolen their eggs.
Following its initial success, Angry Birds expanded into numerous mobile games, animated productions, merchandise, and feature films. The franchise’s mobile portfolio includes Angry Birds 2, Angry Birds Friends, Angry Birds Dream Blast, and Angry Birds Transformers.
In 2023, Japanese gaming company Sega completed its acquisition of Rovio Entertainment, bringing the Angry Birds franchise into Sega’s entertainment business.

How Many People Play Angry Birds in 2026?
Although Angry Birds remains an established mobile gaming franchise, Rovio and Sega do not currently provide a publicly verified global monthly active player count specifically for Angry Birds 2.
Rovio’s advertising portfolio reaches more than 20 million monthly active users, but this figure covers multiple games rather than a single Angry Birds title.
Publicly available download estimates show that Angry Birds 2 continues to acquire new users across iOS and Android. However, downloads cannot be used to calculate an exact active-player count because they do not account for retention, returning users, or inactive installations.
How Many Downloads Does Angry Birds Have?
The Angry Birds franchise has accumulated billions of downloads since the original game launched in 2009.
By its tenth anniversary in 2019, Angry Birds had recorded approximately 4.5 billion downloads across its games.
More recently, Rovio has reported over 5 billion cumulative downloads across its broader game portfolio. This company-wide figure should not be treated as an Angry Birds 2-specific download count.
For Angry Birds 2 individually, Google Play confirms more than 100 million installs, while third-party estimates suggest substantially higher cumulative Android installations.
