PUBG Mobile loses to China's Honor of Kings in chart for top-grossing mobile games for March
India Today
Last month, PUBG Mobile was the highest grosser with total revenue of $250 million.
PUBG Mobile seems to be losing its shine. According to a new report, China’s blockbuster title Honor of Kings has emerged as the top-grossing mobile game worldwide for the month of March. But while PUBG Mobile has slipped one spot to end up being the second-highest grosser, the parent company Tencent Games saw no loss. That is because the owner of Honor of Kings is also Tencent Games. Honor of Kings raked in a revenue of $257.5 million, representing 63 per cent of total revenues from mobile games in March 2021. The latest metrics come from Sensor Tower’s Store Intelligence platform, and according to the report, PUBG Mobile brought in $240.5 million in revenue for March, securing the second spot in the chart. And this is a significant dip considering PUBG Mobile is available worldwide, as opposed to the small extent of the availability of Honor of Kings. The Tencent-owned Honor of Kings is popular in markets including China, Taiwan, and Thailand. The Sensor Tower report says that 96.3 per cent of the total revenue that Honor of Kings swept in the month of March came from China, followed by 1.6 per cent from Thailand and 1.2 per cent from Taiwan. For PUBG Mobile, China contributed 59.7 per cent of the total revenue. The Battle Royale game is available as Game for Peach in China. The US followed this number by contributing 9.8 per cent. PUBG Mobile is banned in India but had it not been the case, India would also have been a major contributor to the revenue.
