📝 State of Mobile Gaming Market in 2025

A data-driven analysis of the mobile gaming market in 2025, featuring global revenue trends, regional performance, monetization strategies, and leading titles.

What’s Going On Here?

Global mobile gaming revenue reached $65.7 billion in 2024, but downloads declined by 6.6% year-over-year. New game launches are slowing down, and fewer titles are crossing the $1M+ revenue mark. Midcore and RPGs dominate top-grossing charts, while emerging markets like Brazil and Mexico are growing fast. Key games like Honor of Kings, Monopoly GO, and Royal Match lead revenue, with Subway Surfers and Roblox topping downloads.

What Does This Mean?

The mobile gaming space is maturing. Growth is more regional than global, with developing markets like Brazil (+47.3%) and Mexico (+47.1%) seeing sharp upticks, while places like Singapore and Malaysia are shrinking. User acquisition costs are high, and successful monetization now hinges on fast execution, IP collaborations, and layered strategies like consumable IAPs and rewarded ads. Ad networks like Unity and AppLovin are becoming even more embedded in top games.

Why Should I Care?

If you’re a developer or publisher, launching and scaling new titles is harder than ever—but also more rewarding if done right. Quick iteration, smart monetization, and market-specific localization are musts. Emerging regions offer strong potential, and understanding user behavior patterns (e.g., fitness apps + LoL users) can give you an edge in targeting. In a saturated, global market, smart design and data-driven marketing aren’t optional—they’re survival.

✍️ Reviews of the Week

Step into an intense battlefield of a fast-paced FPS followed by a nostalgic charm of classic 2D MMORPG in our two featured reviews:

Shatterline is an ambitious FPS that blends the intensity of roguelike PvE with fast-paced PvP, offering something unique for players looking for a fresh experience. While the game currently faces challenges, such as occasional bugs, cross-region latency, and a relatively small player base, it’s a hidden gem waiting to be discovered by more gamers.

MapleStory N truly feels like a blast from the past, bringing back the nostalgic charm of classic 2D MMORPG gameplay while weaving in modern web3 integration. Sure, there are some areas that could use improvements, like onboarding accessibility and loot collection mechanics, but the game’s strengths shine through.
