Who Took The Monopoly Money? - The Highest Earning Games in the World

As 2024 winds down, the latest numbers are in, showing growth requires lots of work as some mobile games are thriving while others hit a rough patch. Let's dive into October's data and see who's up — and who's down from September.

Yes, this is October's chart, although you might not guess it with the same #1 games still ruling the rankings. On iOS, Honor of Kings added $16M over September, bringing its revenue last month to $154M. Over on Google Play, Royal Match held tight to its crown, growing by $3M. Overall, Honor of Kings kept its throne, with $154M net — a $6M boost month-over-month.

In the rest of the top five, Royal Match stayed strong at #2, while Whiteout Survival and Game For Peace both climbed up. The big shake-up? Monopoly Go! tumbled from #2 to #5 as its net revenue dropped $15M to $100M. Scopely isn’t taking it lying down, rolling out TV spots starring Jason Momoa, Keke Palmer, Chris Pratt, and Will Ferrell (voicing Mr. Monopoly himself) to drum up more interest in the title.

Altogether, October's top 10 games pulled in $953M worldwide, inching closer to a $1B month. That’s $46M more than September’s total — a solid showing as the year heads into its final stretch.
