Threes! took the mobile world by storm back in 2014 winning the Apple Design Award, and finally for its 10th anniversary it will be coming to Steam so we can all get in on the fun. Releasing on February 6th, it appears it will have Native Linux support too!
This is the game that inspired 2048 but unfortunately never got nearly as popular.
This has become a bit of a rollercoaster here. Looks like 2048 peaked around 2014, according to Google Trends. Apple Arcade launched 5 years later. So it turns out that it doesn’t line up.
The reason 2048 took over was probably because Threes was only on iOS for a while, and because 2048 was available as a free, ad-supported game while Threes was only available as a paid game.
I got Threes back around Android release, and 2048 was already huge.
