Following the success of the localised Android version of its Garfield Chef game in China, Australian-floated mobile publisher Animoca Brands (ASX: AB1) has announced it's extending its deal with Chinese OEM Xiaomi.

Co-developed by Animoca Brands and Citrus Joy, the game was originally launched on 16 December on Xiaomi's App Store and has already done 1.5 million downloads.

Xiaomi will now also launch the game on the Apple App Store.
