We just published our monthly report that ranks mobile games by downloads and revenue. The same trends you're already used to, if you've been following our monthly reports, are continuing. Hyper-casual games burst their way with downloads while household brands rake in all the cash.
Let's see who's doing what:
Bridge Race was the most downloaded game in the world across the App Store and Google Play in May, earning a whopping 41M downloads, according to our App Intelligence. This is the title's second month in a row of being #1, with downloads growing 55% in May vs. April.
Candy Crush closed the list with 14M downloads, with the nostalgic favorite, Subway Surfers, somewhere in the middle surrounded by hyper-casuals.
Oh, and Candy Crush was the top earner in the U.S., bringing in more than $32M coins (aka net revenue) from U.S. players across iOS and Android devices.
