Finally a Top 10 Worth $1N - The Highest Earning Games in the World

Let's take a look at which games were most successful in at getting gamers to open their (virtual) wallets last month thanks to our freshly generated revenue estimates.

Tencent's "forever game" Honor of Kings rose back up and reclaimed the #1 earning game throne last month, after having been deposed in December by not one, not two, but three other titles: Last War, Pokémon TCG Pocket, and Whiteout Survival.

Monopoly Go was another big game that rebounded in an equally big way last month, moving back up the game (ranking) board to #2 from #5 in December. Another top of the charts staple, Royal Match, also ascended back toward the throne at #3, after having fallen to #6 in December. The previously mentioned Last War and Whiteout Survival slid to #4 and #5, respectively.

Worth noting: Having met with a mixed reception after a very long wait, Pokémon TCG Pocket fell from #2 in December to #10 last month.

All told, the full roster of top 10 earning titles crossed $1B for the first time, something we've been tracking towards for a very, very long time.
