The estimates are in and September’s most downloaded mobile games have been revealed. And instead of another seriously static month on the combined chart, some among August’s top 10 placed better in September, while some slipped.
After two months of Offline Games topping the most downloaded ranking, it was time for a new (old) #1, Subway Surfers. Still, with overall downloads down month-over-month, the game actually saw 5M fewer installs in September than when it was #2 in August. That translates to 17M, down from 22M the month before. The endorsement that being the #1 game brings amounts to something, right?
Why use your phone for a grocery list when you can manage a supermarket on it instead? That’s the question millions of mobile gamers have been asking in recent months as Superstore/Supermarket Simulator has grown in popularity. Stocking its aisles with installs, it reached #2 for downloads last month, racking up 16M or only 1M less than #1.
Offline Games is still doing very well at #3 overall, but its 14M downloads last month are less than half of the 29M the reached at their height in July. Block Blast remained at #4 on the ranking, but accumulated 1M fewer installs than it saw in August at the same rank. Roblox, the #3 game in August, dropped to #5 last month, receiving about 3M fewer downloads in the process.
All told, the top 10 for September combined for 132M downloads — a 15M decline from August’s 147M, or 10% fewer. This was less than the 12% decline between July and August, which saw 20M downloads lost between the two months.
