AppMagic’s revenue figures are net of store commission and taxes. Revenue from Android stores in China is not included.
❗️AppMagic has updated its September estimates. For example, Honor of Kings now has $103.7 million, down from $135 million in the previous report. All comparisons below use the updated figures.
-
Honor of Kings stays in first place with $104.4 million in revenue. According to AppMagic, Honor of Kings was the only game to pass the $100M threshold in store IAP revenue in October.
-
Roblox earned $92.2 million (+3% MoM) and held on to second place.
-
Gossip Harbor earned $74 million in October (+6% MoM) and climbed from fourth to third place. MONOPOLY GO! earned $72.3 million (-5% MoM) and ranked 4th.
Game studios run on contractors — artists, composers, QA testers, translators — often spread across a dozen countries. That’s a lot of contracts, tax rules, and IP clauses to track. Mellow handles all of it: compliant contracts, automated payments, and IP protection built in, for contractors in 150+ countries.
-
Both Dream Games projects had a good October. Royal Match earned $62.8 million (+1% MoM) and took fifth place (+1 spot). Royal Kingdom has $27.9 million (+8% MoM), 13th place (+5 spots).
-
Playrix’s portfolio is also doing well. Township earned $30 million (+5% MoM) and moved to 10th place; Gardenscapes earned $28.7 million (+1% MoM) and moved to 11th place.
-
Pokémon GO earned $23.8 million in October versus $51.9 million in September (-54%). The project dropped seven spots, from eighth to 15th place. That is the steepest decline in the revenue top 15.
-
Delta Force dropped out of the top 15: in October, the game earned $23.5 million versus $38.2 million in September (-39%), falling to 17th place. The game celebrated its second anniversary last month, so the comparison is against a high base.
-
Roblox climbed to first place with 22.4 million downloads. Free Fire MAX is second with 21.4 million installs, and Block Blast! is third (17.9 million).
