Sky: Children of the Light

Thatgamecompany’s Sky reaches 20 million downloads

Thatgamecompany announced today that its latest release, Sky: Children of the Light, has passed 20 million downloads. This happens just ahead of the free-to-play multiplayer mobile game’s first anniversary. Sky released for iOS on July 18, 2019. The Android version followed on April 7, 2020.

Thatgamecompany made its name with beautiful, creative games like Flower and Journey. Before Sky, it focused its efforts on consoles (specifically the PlayStation 3). Sky is the studio’s first project made for mobile. It has players exploring magical kingdoms together. Although mobile is a new platform for the studio, its reputation helped ensure Sky’s success.
