Honor of Kings from Tencent was the second highest earning mobile game worldwide for May 2020 with an estimated $204.5 million in gross revenue, which represented 42 percent year-over-year growth from May 2019. About 95 percent of Honor of Kings’ revenue was from China, followed by 2.2 percent from Thailand, where it’s operated by Garena and known as Garena Realm of Valor. The next top grossing game was Roblox from Roblox Corporation, followed by Monster Strike from Mixi and Coin Master from Moon Active.
As lockdown restrictions from the COVID-19 pandemic are steadily lifted in many countries across the globe, Pokémon GO from Niantic recorded its best month for revenue since September 2019. In May, it generated $82.2 million, an increase of 45.5 percent year-over-year from May 2019. Niantic also made changes to the title during the pandemic in order to encourage playing at home, which has contributed to its continued success during lockdowns.
Three Kingdoms Strategic from Alibaba, meanwhile, had its best month ever. User spending in the game, which is only available in China, has been on the rise since January 2020, hitting $85.4 million last month. Released in September 2019, the title is already closing in on $500 million in lifetime revenue, having accumulated $491.4 million to date.
