Global mobile media company BuzzCity delivered more than 2.1m games to 3.4m unique users across the world during May, through its free mobile gaming portal Djuzz. This represents a 75 per cent increase in downloads, and an 87 per cent increase in unique visitors to the portal over the previous month. The growth in traffic was supported by more than 130 partners who signed up to the Djuzz Catalogue, to create their own branded games portal utilising content available on Djuzz.
The portal currently offers over 5,000 games, spread across 29 categories and created by 60 mobile games developers. The content is available on a variety of platforms, including Java, Symbian and Android, and is accessible to users on feature phones and smartphones.
“The Djuzz Catalogue has allowed us to provide consumers with more channels through which to access free gaming content,” says BuzzCity CEO, KF Lai. The growth in interest reflects high demand across different market segments represented by our catalogue partners. We believe we have barely even scratched the surface of the free mobile gaming market, and the opportunities ahead for our partners and advertisers are significant.”
