The Sims Social Becomes Second Most Played Game on Facebook

I don't know if Electronic Arts were expecting it when they released The Sims Social on Facebook, but it just happened: The Sims Social has just become the second most played game on Facebook and it continues to grow, threatening the number 1 position which is held for some time now by Zynga's CityVille. According to AppData, The Sims Social now has over 10 million active daily players, while CityVille has a bit over 13 million.

It's really interesting to see that FarmVille only has 7.7 million active daily players, while Empires and Allies has a bit over 6 million.

The Sims Social does great in terms of Monthly Active Users, with 40 million people playing EA's social game, but here CityVille is still a long way ahead with 75 million monthly players.

However, it's the daily active players who matter because these are actually the hardcore players and we can see that The Sims Social does extremely well in this area. Who would've thought it?

Are you glad to know that The Sims Social is close to becoming the most popular game on Facebook?
