The year 2024 is drawing to a close. At times it was difficult, at times it added colours to our lives, and also presented dozens of new games on absolutely all platforms. Today we'll take a look at the mobile segment and highlight the most profitable and most popular games of the November 2024. All data was taken from the AppMagic platform.
Top 5 most downloaded games for IOS and Android
Of course, this segment is dominated by projects that are free-to-play and have in-game purchases as the main way of generating profit for their creators. By the way, this ranking includes both relatively new games and those that seem to be long overdue to retire. The list looks as follows:
- Block Blast! The reimagined tetris game is more popular than ever, with 18 million downloads last month - that's more than half of all game downloads.
- Roblox. This multiplatform sandbox never ceases to lose its relevance. During November the game received several major updates, which brought it an additional 9 million downloads.
- Free Fire Max. Released relatively recently, the game remains at the peak of its popularity. This is largely due to players from India. The total number of downloads for this month reaches 8.5 million.
- Real Moto Driving Racinh World. The game, which was released just 2 months ago, has managed to rapidly gain popularity. And this time again thanks to players from India, who have a 42% share of the total 8.2 million downloads for November.
- Pokemon TCG Pocket. The card game based on the popular saga remains at the top of the popular games, although it has shifted one position. At the moment, Pokemon TCG downloads for the month have reached 8 million.
In general, the most downloaded games for this year remain timeless classics. This clearly hints at players' interest in older, time-tested games rather than newer ones.
What's the situation with the most profitable games of November?
The situation here is approximately the same as in the previous list. As a rule, the most revenue is generated by games that were released quite a long time ago and managed to gain the loyalty of the audience. The list of projects that really rocked well this year includes:
- Royal Match. An interesting marketing strategy, constant updates, and rather unusual level building allowed this game to become the leader in the match-3 genre for November 2024. The game earned $67,000,000.
- Last War: Survival. The popular style game, which combined midcore and zombies, came out relatively recently. However, last month that didn't stop it from earning impressive $65,000,000.
- Whiteout Survival. By the way, this project is not much different from the previous game. For users, it is interesting as a strategy, which can be confirmed by the impressive revenue for November in the amount of $61,000,000.
- Honor of Kings. Thanks to their focus on the Chinese market, the creators of this game have been “swimming in gold” for 10 years. Players from China bring them 98% of all revenue every month, and in total they managed to earn $60,000,000 in November.
- Monopoly Go! Who doesn't love Monopoly? Personally, I don't know such people. That's why in a relatively short period of time the game brought the developers $51,000,000.!
In general, the leading positions in terms of revenue have been occupied by the same games for several days, occasionally changing with each other in the ranking. Again, time-tested titles, as well as the support of markets such as China, bring developers simply incredible amounts of profit.
