Top Grossing Mobile Games Worldwide: November 2020

This analysis details the top-grossing mobile games worldwide for November 2020, utilizing data from the Store Intelligence platform to track gross user spending across the Apple App Store and Google Play. The findings highlight the dominant financial performance of titles from Chinese publishers, which occupied eight of the top ten positions in the global revenue rankings for the month.

Honor of Kings secured the top position, generating $230.5 million in revenue, a 62.5 percent increase compared to November 2019. PUBG Mobile followed in second place with $173.8 million, reflecting a 3.8 percent year-over-year growth. Genshin Impact ranked third, earning $143 million, with Japan serving as its primary market at 26.6 percent of total revenue, followed closely by China at 25.4 percent. Other notable performers in the top tier included Coin Master and Pokémon GO.

The data underscores the significant influence of Chinese developers on the global mobile gaming landscape. While U.S.-based companies maintained a presence in the top ten through titles like Roblox and Pokémon GO, the majority of the highest-earning games remain heavily reliant on the Chinese market. These estimates represent gross consumer spending and exclude revenue generated from third-party Android marketplaces, providing a focused view of performance within the primary global app stores during the November 2020 period.
