Good news for game developers: October showed signs of recovery for revenue, as player spending rebounded from September's post-vacation dip. The overall tone of the charts? Stability + with a few swaps at the top.
Last War from FunPlus regained its footing, rising back to #1 with $124M in net revenue across both stores, according to our App Intelligence. Royal Match followed right behind at $121M, continuing its steady climb with another strong month outside of Asia.
Whiteout Survival fell to #3 with $114M, and Monopoly GO! slipped one spot to #4 despite holding above the $110M mark. Tencent’s Honor of Kings completed the top five, driven largely by its iOS dominance in China.
Clash Royale landed in #6 with $94M, its first dip in several months, while Candy Crush Saga and Delta Force filled out the middle with consistent returns. Newer narrative titles like Gossip Harbor kept their momentum, finishing #9, and Kingshot held steady at #10. Across the board, the leaders held their ground even as competition tightened in the mid-tier ranks.
The world's 10 highest-earning mobile games generated $955M in net revenue last month, according to Appfigures Intelligence. That's a decent 7% month-over-month increase. We're now at three straight months below the $1B mark, but October suggests players are ready to spend again. Just in time for the year-end rush.
ChatGPT's mobile app is no longer alone in AI, but Appfigures estimates show it is still the revenue leader by a wide margin.
HBO Max filled its biggest remaining European gaps in 2026. The UK brought the biggest mobile audience, while Germany and Switzerland showed stronger revenue depth.
