Roblox is sitting comfy at the top of the mobile games earning charts via in-app purchases (IAP), effectively dethroning Honor of Kings, showing that the popular games platform is proving to be as popular as ever. In fact, the game achieved $122.2 million through IAP last month, after seeing success in July and August, too, with $152m and $150m, respectively, though those numbers didn’t quite see it beat Tencent’s title.
The data is courtesy of AppMagic (thanks, MobileGamer.biz), and it doesn’t take into account ad revenue, the 30% cut Apple and Google take, nor does it consider spending via the web. We know that Roblox games managed to snag the company $122.2 million last month, catapulting it to the top of the charts. But what other titles had a good month? Well, it turns out that not only can games like Roblox topple Honor of Kings, but LastWar: Survival can, too, putting HoK in third place, giving it a drop of two places month-on-month.
The beloved MOBA is having a bit of a rocky period (though I’d certainly love a rocky month resulting in $116m), dropping 57m in IAP earnings from August, a month in which it achieved $173m. However, the decline doesn’t stop there for Tencent, as one of the best mobile shooters, PUBG Mobile, dropped from third place to eighth position on the chart, resulting in a five-position decline.
