Not just a YouTube sensation: PewDiePie’s game tops iOS App Store in 29 countries

PewDiePie is a host onto himself. As long as he can hold up a brofist, he’s a threat to take over any market he enters.

Developer Outermind’s new PewDiePie Tuber Simulator is the most downloaded game on the App Store for iPhone, according to data-tracking firm Sensor Tower. It launched earlier this week on both iOS and Android. The virtual pet-like app has players building up a YouTube empire just like Felix “PewDiePie” Kjellberg’s by making videos and buying upgrades that enable you to make even better videos. It’s a riff on the industry-simulation genre that developer Kairosoft popularized on mobile with hits like Game Dev Story.
