2023’s highest-grossing mobile games revealed

Delving into the mobile gaming ecosystem can sometimes feel like a foreign experience for those who mainly engage with the medium through consoles or PC. While there are some familiar faces, 2023’s top-grossing mobile games have now been revealed – showcasing a number of surprise additions.

As reported by ‘mobilegamer.biz’, analyst Appmagic data has revealed the top 10 highest grossing mobile games for 2023. While some of the included entries come as a bit of a surprise, what isn’t surprising is the fact that all of the featured games are free-to-play. With that, the full list is as follows:

  1. Honor of Kings ($1.48bn)
  2. PUBG Mobile ($1.14bn)
  3. Candy Crush Saga ($956.9m)
  4. Genshin Impact ($943.8m)
  5. Roblox ($868.6m)
  6. Royal Match ($835.2m)
  7. Coin Master ($728.7m)
  8. Honkai: Star Rail ($659.1m)
  9. Monopoly Go ($645m)
  10. Gardenscapes ($605.7m)

It is worth noting that games such as Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail and Roblox – which all have console/PC counterparts – only had their mobile revenue included in the calculations.

Even so, it is interesting to see the differences and disparity between the top 10 entries – in terms of age, monetisation and consumer unfriendliness. Hopefully come this time next year we see more positive practices being rewarded in the mobile gaming space.
