How Top Studios Use Data to Win in a Post-ATT World

The mobile gaming industry faces a persistent challenge in user acquisition and measurement following the implementation of Apple’s App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework.

  • Implementing the Conversions API (CAPI) provides a measurable 3-5% lift in Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) by utilizing server-side signals like hashed emails and phone numbers to improve platform targeting.
  • Top-performing studios are achieving ATT opt-in rates of 40-50% by utilizing pre-prompts, customized messaging, and direct appeals, significantly outperforming the industry average of 10-15%.
  • Web-to-app funnels, including the use of web shops, HTML5 playables, and interactive quizzes, offer a high-performing alternative to standard app promotion by bypassing some app store tracking restrictions.
