EA is edging ever closer to usurping the Facebook games kingpin Zynga, with The Sims Social now reaching more than 50 million monthly active users.
Zynga’s Cityville – the most popular game in Facebook’s short but dramatic history – stands atop the leaderboard with 74 million monthly users, according to AppData.
But that figure has fallen by more than one million customers in the past seven days.
EA, meanwhile, has amassed over 15 million more users since last week.
Develop has more details.

![Core Keeper key art 1 [Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity](https://mcvuk.com/wp-content/uploads/Core-Keeper-key-art-1-310x165.jpg)
More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
