Top Mobile Games by Revenue and Downloads in May 2025

AppMagic provides revenue data after deducting store commissions and taxes. Revenue from Android stores in China is not included.

• Honor of Kings maintains its leading position in the revenue charts. In May, the game generated $184.2 million—97% of this amount came from the iOS version in China. It is worth noting that in the US, the title has been earning over $1 million per month for several months now. A significant portion of downloads (25%) in the last month came from Indonesia, but revenue in that country remains low.

• For the first time in several months, a new release has entered the top 10 in terms of revenue. This is SD Gundam G Generation ETERNAL by Bandai Namco Entertainment—a tactical RPG based on a popular IP. In April, the game generated $43.9 million, with most of this revenue (71%) coming from Japan.

• It has been a good month for Brawl Stars—the game earned $39 million, its best result since the beginning of the year.

• There are three new projects in the top 15 by downloads. All of them are related to the Brainrot Animals trend (the one with Tralalero Tralala and other characters).

• Meme Merge: Drop Puzzle—14.1 million downloads. In this game from Vietnamese Bravestars Publishing, players merge meme characters. Merge Fellas (11th place—10.6 million installs) has a similar theme, but the developers did not limit themselves to Brainrot Animals.

• 12th place—Brainzot Tip Tap Challenge, again from a Vietnamese studio. This is a collection of mini-games about Brainrot Animals.

• Meanwhile, the top of the chart remains unchanged—Block Blast! is in first place (35.6 million installs), followed by Roblox (22.7 million), and Subway Surfers in third (15.5 million).
