It's Official, the King is Back! Here are the Most Downloaded Games in The World
This is a single insight from This Week in Apps - Is That Still a Trend?. Check out the full article for more insights.
We crunched the numbers and ranked the most downloaded games in the world in November. Lots of games moved in November, which is what I like to see.
The king made its way back home to the top position - that's Subway Surfers, which has been the most downloaded game in our ranking for a very long time. It was dethroned in October by a game that went viral on TikTok, but that's all done now. Subway surfers added 21M fresh downloads in November, up a few millions from October. That's nice.
Mini games, the one that went viral on TikTok last month, came in second in November with 20M new downloads from the App Store and Google Play - though mostly from Google Play. That's the same number of downloads the game got in October, which is impressive considering how it got popular.
Block Blast, Tip Tao Challenge, and Pokemon TCG Pocket round out the top five for November. The first two managed to get a higher rank vs. October.
Pokemon TCG is a new title from the Pokemon Company that came out at the very end of October. The title managed to score 14M downloads and $126M of net revenue (after store fees) in November, according to our estimates. Its net revenue grew to $187M as of the end of December.
Our App Intelligence shows that together, the top 10 most downloaded games in the world brought in 145M new downloads in November. Just about the same as October. Christmas is upon us and if we compare this November to last November we can expect downloads to rise at least 16%.
