For the first time since June 2018, a new title made its way onto the global mobile game revenue top 10 last month: Brawl Stars from Supercell, which grossed more than $50 million. Apart from it, the remaining nine were longtime members of this elite ranking. In this report, we show how the world's highest grossing and most installed mobile games stacked up for the month of January 2019, based on Sensor Tower Store Intelligence data.

Brawl Stars entered the topmost tier of earning games last month at No. 10 overall, ranking at No. 8 on Google Play. Supercell's first new title since spring of 2016 did not make the App Store top 10, ranking at No. 13 on Apple's platform. While no other new titles made the overall revenue top 10 for January, several did improve their rankings, including Candy Crush Saga, Lineage M, and Dragon Ball Z Dokkan Battle.
