Top Mobile Games by Revenue and Downloads: September 2026

The mobile gaming market experienced a notable contraction in high-end revenue generation during September 2026, as evidenced by a significant reduction in the number of titles surpassing the $100 million monthly revenue threshold. While five games achieved this milestone in August, only Honor of Kings maintained that level in September, generating $135 million despite a 12% month-over-month decline attributed to the conclusion of the Chinese summer school holidays.

Revenue performance across the top tier was largely characterized by downward trends. PUBG MOBILE saw the most dramatic shift, with revenue falling by 50% to $55.2 million, causing it to drop from third to tenth place. Other major titles, including Gossip Harbor, Royal Match, and various projects from Century Games, also recorded double-digit percentage declines. Conversely, select titles demonstrated resilience or growth; MONOPOLY GO! climbed to fifth place with $81.5 million, and Pokémon GO saw a 23% increase, reaching $61.9 million. Roblox remains a unique outlier, maintaining a stable revenue of $98 million while serving as the only title to appear in both the top 15 revenue and top 15 download charts.

Download rankings were led by Free Fire MAX with 22.2 million installs, followed by Roblox and Block Blast!. The download charts showed significant volatility, highlighted by the rapid ascent of Bus Fever Party!, which climbed 141 spots to secure fourth place with 12.8 million downloads. Data for these rankings is sourced from AppMagic, with revenue figures representing net amounts after store commissions and taxes, excluding Android store revenue from China. The analysis covers global mobile market performance for the month of September 2026.
