Top Mobile Games Worldwide for March 2022: Downloads

This analysis identifies the leading mobile games by global download volume for April 2022, utilizing data from the Store Intelligence platform. The primary objective is to track market performance and identify the most popular titles across the Apple App Store and Google Play. The scope of the research covers worldwide mobile gaming activity, excluding third-party Android stores and pre-installed applications, focusing on unique, aggregate installs.

Subway Surfers secured the top position for the month, recording 26.6 million installs—a significant 2.1-fold increase compared to the same period in the previous year. Garena Free Fire followed closely in second place with 25.2 million installs, representing a 41.8 percent year-over-year growth. The top five most downloaded titles were completed by Ludo King, Roblox, and Fill The Fridge. India emerged as the dominant market for mobile game downloads, contributing 783 million installs, which accounted for 16.6 percent of the global total. The United States and Brazil followed as the second and third largest markets, respectively.

Overall, the global mobile gaming sector experienced modest growth in April 2022, generating 4.7 billion total downloads. This figure represents a 2.6 percent increase compared to the previous year. The findings highlight the continued dominance of established titles and the significant influence of emerging markets, particularly India, in driving global download volume. The methodology relies on unique install estimates, providing a standardized view of consumer engagement across the two primary mobile operating systems.
