Newsbrief: As King.com launches its latest casual game via Facebook, the company has revealed that it is now the third biggest game developer on Facebook in terms of DAUs, having now surpassed Electronic Arts.

As of this morning, King.com has 9.44 million daily active users across all its Facebook games, compared to EA's 9.40 million, according to tracking website AppData, while over 2.5 billion King.com game sessions are now played each month, compared to 300 million year-over-year.

The company launched Candy Crush Saga this week, the sixth title in its Saga franchise, with which it is anticipating further rapid growth on Facebook. The studio currently offers over 150 games via its main website.
