Following our report that Angry Birds 2 barrelled through 1 million downloads in 12 hours, the F2P remake has just sailed past the 10 million mark.

Big birds, big bucks?

The official Twitter page for Rovio’s newest smash hit announced the news with a picture of its newest character Silver.

Nearly half of those downloads were racked up on the first day of launch.

By Friday afternoon Angry Birds 2 had netted 4.4 million installs, though the figures do not yet take into account interest from China.

So far, reception has been mixed with some criticising the abundance of in-app purchases.

Despite the relentless monetization – including paid powerups and rewarded video ads – Angry Birds 2 has not yet broken into the top ten highest earning app store charts.
