The record 8 mobile games grossed more than $ 1 billion

A record number of mobile games managed to generate revenue of over $ 1 billion worldwide from the App Store and Google Play in 2021, according to data from the Sensor Tower Store Intelligence to mid-December. This is more than the five titles with such financial revenues in 2020 and well over three in 2019 and 2018

In first and second place are the games PUBG Mobile (known as Game For Peace in China and Battlegrounds Mobile in India) and Honor of Kings. The chart below shows that they are very close and far ahead of everyone else. Numbers 1 and 2 in the rankings for this year have collected revenues of about 2.8 billion dollars, which is respectively 9 and 14.7% growth on an annual basis.

Among the eight leaders are also Roblox, Pokémon GO and Candy Crush Soda.

The interesting thing about Roblox is that its revenue of $ 1.3 billion represents a growth of 20.3% on an annual basis. With its sixth position, Niantic’s Pokémon GO ($ 1.2 billion) is on track to record its best year to date, more than five years after its debut.

Analysts Sensor Tower points out that it is possible that by the end of 2021 the ninth player will join the eight with revenues of over a billion dollars. A chance to cross the psychological frontier is Uma Musume Pretty Derby from Cygames, whose income in mid-December was $ 970 million. The game launches in February this year and is only available in Japan.

The mobile gaming boom

This year, the sector stepped on the huge revenues from 2020, when the pandemic hit the world and pushed many to screen entertainment. Sensor Tower predicts that mobile game spending on the App Store and Google Play will reach a total of $ 89.6 billion worldwide by the end of 2021. This will mean an increase of 12.6% on an annual basis. The increase in revenue is fueled by both new and old titles. Each of these billions of dollars hits shows how diverse the market and its huge audience are, but also how important a sound operating strategy is for long-term success and sustainability.
