As we reach the midpoint of 2024, let’s break down which mobile games are captivating players and dominating the charts in revenue and downloads.
According to MobileGamer-Biz (via Appmagic), Tencent’s Honor of Kings holds the crown as the highest-grossing mobile game of 2024 so far nearly touching the $1 billion gross revenue mark.
When it comes to downloads, Roblox tops the charts, with 115 million downloads so far in 2024.

Games like Honor of Kings, Roblox, PUBG Mobile, and Candy Crush Saga have remained steady on the charts due to their continuous updates, strong community support, and effective monetization strategies.

Looking at positions 11-20, we see a mix of established titles and rising stars:
- Genshin Impact (11th) and Pokémon Go (14th) are showing signs of decline
- Brawl Stars (12th) has made a remarkable comeback
- Another Tencent game, Dungeon & Fighter Mobile is off to an incredible start since its May release grossed $257 million just in one month and took 15th position. Don’t be surprised if you see it in the top 10 at the end of the year
- Legend of Mushroom has emerged as a dark horse, securing the 16th spot

Classic block-matching game Block Blast, created by Hungry Studio, has surprisingly claimed the third spot.
Supercent’s Pizza Ready represents the growing trend of hybrid-casual games.
Free Fire and its Max version saw significant download spikes early in the year due to its large investment in esports.
