Glu Mobile Inc. (Nasdaq: GLUU), a leading global publisher of social games for smartphone and tablet devices, today announced strong early momentum for its first social mobile games: Gun Bros and Toyshop Adventures. In a matter of weeks, Gun Bros and Toyshop Adventures have each generated more than 1M downloads from the App Store.

“We are thrilled with the reception to our first social mobile games. We expect to release five to six new social mobile titles every quarter on smartphones and tablets to satisfy mobile gamers appetite for quality, innovative gameplay and social mobile games,” stated Niccolo De Masi, Chief Executive Officer, Glu.

Highlighting Q4 results to date, Gun Bros is currently averaging more than 100,000 daily active users while Toyshop Adventures is currently averaging more than 70,000 daily active users. The success of these titles comes only one week after Glu announced its third quarter of 2010 financial results which showed strong growth and momentum in building its installed user base and increasing its smartphone revenues. Glu reported in its third quarter of 2010 earnings call that its monthly active users grew to 4.2M in September 2010. The company cumulatively achieved more than 31.9M installs on iOS devices alone at the end of September, with micro-transactions and in-game advertising revenues growing 98% quarter-over-quarter.

“Our deep partnerships with Apple and Google, strong internal studios, and cross-platform capabilities position Glu well to accelerate our early momentum,” said De Masi.
