PUBG Mobile is still without a doubt the king of mobile games

PUBG Mobile is undisputedly the king of mobile games. Even with strong competition from Call of Duty: Mobile in October, PUBG Mobile was still the mobile game with most active users. It may take a while for Call of Duty: Mobile to dethrone the current king of mobile games. Call Of Duty: Mobile stayed at 2nd in the number of active players. Candy Crush Saga, Pokemon Go, Clash of Clans were ranked next on the list.

Mobile games with most consumer spendings

Pay-to-win games with loot boxes often raked in more money

Surprisingly, though incredibly popular, both Call of Duty: Mobile and PUBG Mobile couldn’t top the earning chart. In terms of earnings, Honor of Kings was #1 while Pokemon Go and Candy Crush Saga took the #3 and #4 position. Interestingly, regionally popular games like Monster Strike, Dragon Quest Walk, and Lineage M earned more than PUBG Mobile and Call of Duty: Mobile. This was due to the nature of pay-to-win mechanics in such games. Call of Duty: Mobile was only ranked #9 on the earning list.
