The figures show that since its release on 19 September, iOS 13 has accrued 20.27% adoption as of 9:00am UTC today. iOS 12 is down from a 92.10% share to 74.59%.

Alto’s Odyssey trades in the bright, snowy, and colorful palette of the first game for a much warmer, darker environment. The desert — while stunningly gorgeous — feels harsher and less forgiving than the slopes Alto’s used to and the new landscape provides a plethora of new challenges for players to discover.
