The top 10 grossing mobile games generated approximately $1.4 billion of combined consumer spending in June, each accumulating more than $100 million individually and representing a record number of titles to cross this milestone in a single month. This comes despite the lifting of COVID-19-related social restrictions in many parts of the world, providing further evidence to the notion that new habits developed during lockdown, such as increased use of mobile devices for entertainment and necessities, are sticking. Overall, the mobile games market amassed $7.3 billion in consumer spend last month across the App Store and Google Play, a rise of about 10 percent Y/Y.
