  • Honor of Kings dominated May’s top-grossing charts with $161 million in in-app purchase revenue, while 'Last War Survival' saw a significant decline, dropping to 10th place with $82 million.
  • Apple’s new developer policy offers free access to its AI foundation models for apps until they reach 2 million first-time downloads, a move aimed at supporting indie developers.

Take-Two, Ubisoft, Monopoly Go and SciPlay news plus data and soft launch nuggets

The mobile games industry is currently characterized by a significant divergence in performance between major publishers, with mobile platforms increasingly serving as the primary revenue driver for large-scale gaming companies.

  • Take-Two Interactive's mobile division now accounts for over half of the company's total bookings, with Zynga-led titles like Toon Blast (up 25%) and Top Eleven (strongest quarter ever) driving performance.
  • Ubisoft reported a fiscal 'low point' as mobile revenue dropped from 16% to 7% of total bookings year-over-year, citing slower-than-expected launches for Rainbow Six Mobile and The Division Resurgence.
  • Hasbro generated $41 million in quarterly revenue from Scopely’s Monopoly Go, a title that has reached $6 billion in total player revenue and remains a significant contributor to Hasbro's bottom line.
