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.
May’s top app charts were mostly stuck, but ChatGPT kept growing in downloads while TikTok kept leading revenue and Google One climbed into the top five.
Apple's WWDC 2026 app song named a tiny slice of the App Store, but the apps behind the lyrics are far bigger, older, and more successful than average.
