Mobile games continued to thrive in 2020, 🍨with in revenue. Thesꦆe include the popular battle royale, PUBG Mobile, and the long-running Pokemon Go.
PUBG Mobile took the top spot with $2.6 billion, with Pokemon Go actually landing in third, beat out by Honor of Kings – a MOBA game from Tencent.

Despite gains of nearly 32% compared t🃏o last year, Pokemon Go wasn't able to outpace the competition. Still, 2020 was a surprisingly good year for Pokemon Go, as Niantic found way🌸s to work around the global lockdown and keep players engaged while stuck indoors.
Monster Strike just missed out on jo💧ining the $1 billion club, raking in $958 million over the course of the year. said it's been a "global top-five grossing game since at least 2014, and is one of the wo🐭rld's most lucrative mobile titles of all time."
The entire mobile games ma𒁃rket has created $75.4 billion in revenue this year, nearly 20% more than it did in 2019. Analysts at Sensor Tower don't expect this pace to keep up in 2021, but they do think several games will still cross that $1 billion mark. As we crawl out of this cursed year and – hopefully – come out of lockdown, interest in mobile games is expected to wane, leading to a less🎃 profitable – but much more enjoyable – 2021.
