Appyzilla reports: "With more than 330 million games for the smartphone platform sold over the last 10 years, Gameloft yesterday announced it has crossed the 20 million mark for Apple app store downloads. 10 million of these games were sold only in the last nine months. A quick run through the Gameloft’s catalogue reveals 47 titles published in the last nine months on the app store. Forty two of these titles have made it to the Top 5 App List and 25 of them have featured on the No. 1 spot. The gaming company has also said 15 new games will be released by the end of this year for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad."
Auto Defense, a real castle battle strategy game by Gameloft, is globally available to download and play on Android and iOS devices.
Culture of Gaming set down with Gameloft at E3 2019 where we got to preview some of their upcoming games in the mobile field.
Neil writes: "Since the turn of the millennium, Gameloft have established themselves as one of the very top innovators in their field, creating games for various platforms. With the mobile scene being their bread and butter, you would have been able to enjoy a whole host of their titles on your iOS or Android device. Now though they are partnering up with Microsoft to see the Xbox Live service roll out across the mobile gaming landscape."
Major move by Microsoft here. Already enjoying these games with Xbox Achievements/Live, through Windows 10 on my Surface Go, but now that they are bringing them to iOS and Android, even more people will be able to experience Xbox Live no matter where they are. More of this.
Say what you want about the games, they are popular. There’s all kinds of things I don’t like that make money, doesn’t mean I’ll dismiss them as worthless.
Name a game that’s not influenced/ripping off another game in this day and age. Go ahead I’ll wait...
@KyRo
Regardless how you feel about the games themselves, they make some of the highest rated and most popular mobile games out there. Are you telling me this isn't a smart move???

This is a major move because its never been done before by a major platform holder like Microsoft. I dont see why they would stop there either. They are the only ones with the infrastructure and will to pull it off. Major titles on console, PC and mobile (phones and tablets and TV), all running Xbox Live...Im sorry but thats a smart move.
@timotim
Those are some pretty high metacritic scores.
Where are we at this moment? Are we currently celebrating review scores or are we still blaming bias journalists and clickbait reviews?
Couldn't agree more, adding Xbox Live to mobile games across IOS and Android is a wise decision. They really are expanding Xbox from the living room space.
Gameloft make the worst mobile games They make crappy copies of more popular games . Good fit for MS I guess
So you’re implying that MS makes crappy copies of other games? Like what for example?
Crackdown 3 is the same as Crackdown? @saint. So let's start with uncharted 1,2,3,4, tomber raider 1,2,3,4, killzone 1,2,3,4, call of duty, God of war and I bet the last of us 2 has a lot of the same elements as the first.
I'm not saying these are bad games at all but you can't make a statement like that just because it's an Xbox game. If you don't like Microsoft or anything Xbox, stay out of Xbox articles!
You sorry little man
Actually, their games are some of the highest rated and popular games on mobile platforms.
