The Pudgy Penguins brand has made a powerful entry into mobile gaming with its new title Pudgy Party. Developed in collaboration with Mythical Games, the app has already surpassed 750 thousand downloads across Apple and Google platforms. This rapid growth places it among the fastest-rising Web3 games ever released.
Launched on August 29, Pudgy Party quickly gained traction. By September 2, it had already reached 250 thousand downloads, and within another week, it neared the half-million mark. For comparison, Mythical’s FIFA Rivals took six weeks to hit one million users. Pudgy Party is on track to beat that record.
Community Buzz and Brand Expansion 
The excitement surrounding Pudgy Party has spilled over into social media. One user on X wrote, “Wow, 1m inbound no doubt. It’s a really fun game.” To reward early adopters, Pudgy Penguins issued a Soulbound Token called “Early to the Party,” which served as a digital badge for pre-download participants.
Beyond gaming, Pudgy Penguins is expanding its influence. A recent partnership with Sharps Technology aims to integrate its intellectual property into Solana-based treasury operations. This move could attract more attention from both institutional and retail investors.
