Zynga Inc. (/ˈzɪŋɡə/) is an American developer running social video game services. It was founded in April 2007, with headquarters in San Mateo, California.[6] The company primarily focuses on mobile and social networking platforms.[7][8] Zynga states its mission as "connecting the world through games".[9]

Zynga launched FarmVille on Facebook in June 2009,[2][10] reaching ten million daily active users (DAU) within six weeks.[11] As of August 2017, Zynga had thirty million monthly active users (MAU).[12] In 2017, its most successful games were Zynga Poker and Words with Friends 2, with about 57 million games being played at any given moment;[13][14] and CSR Racing 2, the most popular racing game on mobile devices.[15] Zynga began trading on NASDAQ on December 16, 2011,[16] under the ticker ZNGA.[17][18][19]

Take-Two Interactive announced in January 2022 its intent to buy Zynga for $12.7 billion.[20] The deal was completed in May 2022.[21]

According to Take-Two Interactive, about 10% of the world's population plays Zynga's games every month.[22]
