Outplay Entertainment and EightPixelsSquare have announced that their popular free FPS Sniper Strike: Special Ops has surpassed 10 million downloads in only 10 months. The developers have also announced that a series of events will make their way to the game throughout October in the run up to Halloween.
Reaching 10 million downloads in just 10 months is a great achievement for the game which has recently made the leap from mobile to PC. The PC version provides gamers with a new adapted control scheme, user interface and settings.
