Top Mobile Games Worldwide for February 2021 by Downloads

This analysis identifies the leading mobile games by global download volume for February 2021. The primary objective is to highlight top-performing titles and emerging trends within the mobile gaming market, utilizing data derived from the Store Intelligence platform. The scope covers worldwide installs across the Apple App Store and Google Play, excluding pre-installed applications and third-party Android stores.

Join Clash 3D emerged as the most downloaded game of the month, securing approximately 27 million installs—a significant 170-fold increase compared to February 2020. India and Brazil served as the primary markets for this title. High Heels followed in second place with 24.4 million installs, with India and the United States representing its largest user bases. Rounding out the top five were Girl Genius, Garena Free Fire, and Among Us.

A notable finding involves the performance of Zynga, which achieved its highest-ever monthly download total of 80.5 million. This success was driven by the inclusion of two titles, High Heels and Blob Runner 3D, in the top 10 rankings, marking the company as the only publisher to achieve such a feat during this period. Additionally, the report highlights the successful mobile transition of established franchises, specifically noting the strong launch performance of Square Enix’s NieR Reincarnation in Japan, which generated nearly 4 million downloads and $22.4 million in player spending within its first month. These findings underscore the continued dominance of hyper-casual titles and the growing viability of porting console-based intellectual property to the mobile ecosystem.
