Demonstrating the value of social and online play, Korean publisher Com2uS has announced its Homerun Battle baseball games have clocked up over 400 million online game sessions.

It's a pretty impressive number given that the two games so far released have received around 20 million downloads on iOS and Android.

Obviously, simple maths suggests that on average each player has accumulated 20 sessions against another player.

Outta the park

The news follows the announcement 14 months ago that the series had hit the 200 million online game sessions.

It took 22 months to reach this first total, however.

In addition to this mode, 100 million single player sessions have been played in the Homerun Battle games.

Me versus you

Homerun Battle's main mode is the head-to-head network battle where you have a fixed period of time to hit more homeruns than your matched opponent.

In this manner, it was one of the first synchronous multiplayer games on mobile, although players don't directly interact with each other.

Each can see the other's progress during the session, though, with the winner being the one who's hit the most balls the furthest.

Down on the farm

And more generally, Com2uS is extended this online focus to all of its games.

Its Com2uS Hub social gaming network now has 30 million subscribers, with the company expecting to hit the 50 million by the end of 2012.

Aside from Homerun Battle, much of the growth has come from its Tiny Farm iOS and Android title, which has over 1 million daily active users.
