The Highest-Earning Games in the US
This is a single insight from This Week in Apps #105 - Where's the Money?. Check out the full article for more insights.
I crunched the number this week to rank the highest-earning games in the US in February. I ranked apps last week, in case you missed it.
Roblox was the highest-earning game in the US in February, earning $72M of net revenue, according to our estimates. Candy Crush was a distant second in February, earning about a half, with an estimated $48M of net revenue.
Roblox was also the highest-earning app in the App Store in February, and much like the insight above, you can see the difference in revenue between revenue from the App Store and Google Play, where Roblox ranks 4th.
Garena Free Fire, still banned in India, comes in at about half of Candy Crush. Pokémon Go and Bingo Blitz stop the halving and round off the top 5 highest earners in the US, with similar net revenue.
Together, the highest earners brought in $280M of net revenue in February, according to our estimates. Like the highest-earning apps and even the most downloaded apps and games, which I covered over the last few weeks, this total is a bit lower than January's.
