Temple Run Reaches One Billion Downloads

Imangi Studios, the studio behind the hit endless-runner series Temple Run, has today announced that Temple Run and Temple Run 2 have together been download over a billion times.

Since the first game in the series was released in 2011, over 32 billion games have been played, with the games having been collectively played for over 216,018 years. In that time, over 50 trillion meters have been run, which is enough to go around the world over a million times. These numbers don't include the Brave and Oz editions of the game either, meaning the totals for the entire Temple Run franchise are actually even higher.

Keith Shepherd, co-founder of Imangi Studios and one half of the husband-and-wife team which formed the studio, said this of their milestone:

Having Temple Run reach the one billion downloads mark is a milestone we couldn’t have imagined when we first started out. We’re incredibly grateful to all the Temple Run players and our wonderful team. We look forward to continuing to grow the Temple Run franchise, as well as creating additional innovative games.
