Game popularity is always changing, but a few major publishers consistently lead the industry. They achieve this through popular games, a worldwide presence, and effective ways of generating revenue. For a long time now, the top companies haven’t changed much, and it’s no surprise that Tencent Games continues to be number one.

Wow, Tencent Games absolutely crushed it in April, bringing in over $461 million! It’s no surprise, really – Honor of Kings and PUBG Mobile are consistently huge earners for them. I’ve been following the numbers, and Century Games came in second with over $223 million, which is still amazing. They seem to be doing really well with strategy and survival games that people are clearly willing to spend money on – I’ve definitely enjoyed a few of them myself!

Okay, so looking at the top mobile game companies, Dream Games landed in third place with a whopping $136.6 million! Right behind them was Playrix with $123.8 million, and Microfun Limited pulled in $118.5 million. It’s pretty clear they’re all doing so well because people are really spending money on their puzzle and casual games – they’ve definitely figured out how to make those games super engaging and profitable.

FunFly Pte. Ltd. continues to perform strongly, ranking sixth with revenue of $114,176,702. Take-Two Interactive also had a successful month, returning to the list with $113,796,240 in revenue.
