June’s top grossing mobile games: Honor of Kings, Whiteout Survival, Royal Match, Gossip Harbor, more
June’s mobile gaming revenue rankings were dominated by Honor of Kings, Tencent’s popular MOBA title, which despite experiencing a significant month-on-month in-app purchase (IAP) revenue decline of $50 million, retained its position as the top-grossing game. The substantial drop underscores the volatile nature of Honor of Kings’ monetization, though such fluctuations are not uncommon for the title and do not necessarily indicate cause for concern.
The rankings, compiled from Appmagic data, also featured other notable titles including Whiteout Survival, Royal Match, and Gossip Harbor among the top earners for the month. The data specifically tracks in-app purchase earnings, providing a focused view of direct player spending rather than comprehensive revenue figures.
It’s worth noting that these IAP estimates exclude several significant revenue streams: advertising revenue, platform commissions (Apple and Google’s standard 30% cut), and revenue generated from China’s Android ecosystem. These exclusions mean the reported figures represent only a portion of these games’ total monetization, and actual earnings would be substantially higher if these sources were included.
The monthly rankings offer insight into player spending patterns and game popularity within the mobile market. Appmagic provides ongoing access to updated top-grossing and top-download charts, allowing industry observers to track trends throughout the month rather than waiting for monthly summaries.
