10 Top Grossing Mobile Games of June 2020

This analysis examines the mobile gaming market performance for June 2020, highlighting a cooling period for the industry following the initial surge in activity during the early stages of the pandemic. Data indicates a 16% decline in revenue from in-app purchases compared to previous months, alongside a general decrease in game downloads. The scope of the findings is limited to global revenue generated through the Apple App Store and Google Play.

PUBG Mobile emerged as the top-grossing title, generating $58 million from its international version and $89 million from its Chinese counterpart. A broader trend shows the dominance of Chinese developers, who accounted for 56% of the revenue among the top 10 grossing games on the App Store. Other notable performers included Roblox, which maintained steady growth, and Gardenscapes, which continued to perform well despite seasonal fluctuations. Conversely, Fortnite demonstrated a significant disparity in platform performance, earning over $40 million on the App Store while struggling on Google Play with only $1 million in revenue.

Industry experts interpret these results as a period of market stabilization rather than a long-term downturn. Projections for the remainder of 2020 suggested a potential rebound by the fall, with anticipated growth in the sectors of augmented and virtual reality, free-to-play models, and ultracasual gaming. The analysis relies on store intelligence metrics to track revenue and download trends, providing a snapshot of the competitive landscape during a period of global economic uncertainty.
