Temple Run and Other Popular Games Coming to Windows Phone

Temple Run is on its way to Windows Phone. Microsoft announced several incoming games to the platform Wednesday in conjunction with the Game Developer's Conference currently going on in San Francisco.

Exceptionally popular on other platforms, the original Temple Run has been downloaded more than 170 million times from Apple's App Store and Google Play since its launch in 2011. Since its release, Imangi, the company behind the game, has released a follow-up for Android and iOS, Temple Run 2. The studio also partnered with Disney to put out two themed versions of the game: Temple Run Brave, and Temple Run Oz.

In addition to Temple Run, 6th Planet, Propel Man, Orcs Must Survive, Flight Theory, Drift Mania Championship and Ruzzle will also be making their way to Windows Phone.

Several of the titles will be available starting today, while others will slowly roll out over the remainder of the week.

Last week, another big name in apps, Pandora, launched an app on Windows Phone. Amongst other features, the app supports Live Tiles, making it possible to see what song is playing by just looking at your phone’s Start screen. Windows Phone users can listen to Pandora ad-free on their handsets until the end of the year.
