Top 10 Worldwide Mobile Games By Revenue and Downloads in October 2026

According to Sensor Tower’s App Performance Insights, ROBLOX ranked No. 1 worldwide in both revenue and revenue growth in October. Its Halloween campaign, The Hollow, connected nine horror experiences in a shared survival event. Each night, players explored a new maze and faced a monster from one of the participating games, including 99 Nights in the Forest, Animal Hospital, and Scary Shawarma Kiosk. Quests across the hub and participating games offered ways to explore Roblox’s horror lineup and earn avatar rewards, while limited-time Halloween items created opportunities for further engagement and spending.

Honor of Kings ranked No. 2 worldwide by revenue in October 2026. Its eight-day Anniversary Celebration began on October 24, with login rewards including tickets for an in-game prize draw and Rose Hearts—a currency used to redeem rare skins—and other anniversary items. The celebration also opened redemption for a limited-edition Legendary outfit, giving players a chance to claim a major cosmetic reward.

Other top-grossing games also marked Halloween with limited-time content. Gossip Harbor ran three events: Halloween Hijinks featured spooky card collecting, The Cat in the Castle sent players exploring eerie grounds, and The Ghostly Gallery offered rewards at a haunted exhibition. Royal Match paired the Spooky Rise and Pumpkin Party challenges, while Whiteout Survival ’s Halloween Party featured pumpkin battles and festive surprises.

Global consumer spending on mobile games across the App Store and Google Play reached $6.26 billion in October, up 1.7% month-over-month. The United States accounted for 28.8% of total revenue, followed by China (iOS only) at 14.7% and Japan at 12.5%.

ROBLOX also topped the worldwide revenue-growth chart, climbing one place from the previous month while leading by absolute revenue. Its largest markets by consumer spending were the United States, United Kingdom, Thailand and South Korea, followed by Canada and Germany.

World of Goblins, Kakao Games’ MMORPG, ranked No. 2 worldwide in revenue growth and No. 1 by downloads and revenue in South Korea. Set in a high-fantasy world inspired by Korean folklore, it pairs top-down gameplay with pixel-art characters and 3D environments for a 2.5D look. Character customization, cooperative guild activities, and offline progression give players several ways to develop their heroes in a genre where realistic 3D graphics are common.

SD Gundam G Generation ETERNAL ranked No. 4 worldwide in revenue growth and No. 1 by revenue in Japan, where spending spiked during its 1.5th anniversary campaign. The 27-day celebration began September 30 with a new story chapter and newly available mechs, including limited-time units. Later in the month, a story event drew on another part of the Gundam universe, followed by a late October update that expanded the roster. The updates added new story content and more collectible mechs from the long-running franchise.

I’m MT: Rise, a new Squad RPG based on the popular Chinese animated series I’m MT, ranked No. 10 worldwide and No. 1 in China for revenue growth. It revisits the series’ comic fantasy world and familiar adventuring crew in a more hands-off format: players build five-character squads, combine faction bonuses, and collect upgrade resources through idle play. Tower challenges, dungeon runs, and PvP battles offer more ways to develop and test teams.

October’s rankings reflected a mix of enduring hits and newer titles gaining traction. Seasonal content and anniversary campaigns coincided with strong performance from established games, while new releases drew on familiar franchises and streamlined progression to make their mark.
