PUBG Mobile has emerged as the highest-grossing mobile online game of 2020. Despite having a quite difficult time in India, still PUBG managed to outshine.

Both PUBG Mobile and its rebranded version in China called Game For Peace, managed to accumulate the highest revenue from Play Store and App Store. This data, however, does not include the purchases made outside of Play Store on Android via third-party app marketplaces. This is great news for PUBG Mobile that was banned earlier this year in India over government’s security fears.
Honor of Kings, which secured the second spot, estimated about $2.5 billion in user spending this year, 42.8 per cent up from 2019. Interestingly, both PUBG Mobile and Honor of Kings belong to Tencent. Niantic’s Pokemon Go and Moon Active’s Coin Master ranked at third and fourth spot in the charts, generating revenues of $1.2 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively. For Pokemon Go, 2020 has been its best year by far where it accumulated a revenue increase of 31.5 percent.

With the top five grossing games, the mobile game industry saw a momentous year, where the overall revenue exceeded those of previous years.
So far in 2020, the global mobile games market has generated $75.4 billion, which is already up 19.5 percent from 2019.
