Speaking of games, this week I crunched the numbers to rank the highest-earning games (and apps, a bit below) in the US for the last month, and guess who came in at #4?
Roblox was the highest-earning mobile game in the US in January, earning more than $86M of net revenue, that's after Apple and Google take their fees, according to our estimates. Candy Crush Saga was right behind it with $51M in January across the App Store and Google Play.
These two have been in command of this list for a while now. I don't expect that to change any time soon.
Coin Master, Garena Free Fire, yes, that Garena, and Bingo Blitz round out the top 5 overall.
We estimate that together, the top 10 highest earners brought in $310M in net revenue from players in the US in January.
May’s top app charts were mostly stuck, but ChatGPT kept growing in downloads while TikTok kept leading revenue and Google One climbed into the top five.
Apple's WWDC 2026 app song named a tiny slice of the App Store, but the apps behind the lyrics are far bigger, older, and more successful than average.
