The numbers keep on flowing from German publisher HandyGames.
Following the news it's reached 25 million mainly free downloads on Google Play comes the announcement of 20 million downloads on Nokia feature phones.
It's a figure that's been powered by the 100-odd Java games that HandyGames distributes for free via the Nokia app store over the past 16 months. It also has over 35 games optimised for the Series 40 Asha phones.
Brimful of Asha
"The feature phone market is still strong thanks to devices such as the Asha range," commented CEO Christopher Kassulke.
"We believe this number will continue to grow strongly in the coming months," he added.
Although Nokia's smartphone line is now focused on Windows Phones, its cheap feature phone business for emerging market continues to ship high volumes.
To-date, Nokia's sold 1.5 billion Series 40 phones.
