Top of the Charts: The Mobile Game Revenue Kings of 2021
Money matters in gaming. In 2021, two names stood out. They were the revenue giants. Players spent a lot. Their wallets were happy.
PUBG Mobile: The Billion-Dollar Battle Royale
First, we have PUBG Mobile. Yes, a billion. This battle royale from Tencent shattered records. Players spent $1 billion globally in one year. That’s impressive.
PUBG Mobile by Tencent broke records in 2021, surpassing $1 billion in global consumer spend.
If you didn’t play on Erangel or Miramar in 2021, you missed out. The thrill of the chicken dinner cost a lot. It was worth every penny.
Honor of Kings: Not Far Behind, Still a King
Next is another Tencent game: Honor of Kings. It was close to PUBG Mobile in revenue. It still earned massive sums. It was the top game in revenue for part of 2021. PUBG Mobile had serious competition.
In fact, it’s the top game in terms of revenue of 2021, beating out Honor of Kings — another Tencent title — for the #1 spot.
