Top Mobile Games Worldwide for February 2021 by Downloads

Join Clash 3D from Supersonic Studios was the most downloaded mobile game worldwide for February 2021 with close to 27 million installs, which represented a 170 times increase from February 2020. The countries with the most installs of the game during this period were India at 36.5 percent of its total downloads and Brazil at 6.5 percent. The full top 10 ranking of mobile games worldwide by downloads for February 2021 is above. Game download estimates are from Sensor Tower’s Store Intelligence platform.

High Heels from Zynga was the second most installed mobile game worldwide last month with 24.4 million installs. The countries with the largest number of High Heels installs were India at 23.3 percent, followed by the United States at 20.3 percent. Girl Genius from Lion Studios, Garena Free Fire from Garena, and Among Us from InnerSloth rounded out the top five most installed mobile games worldwide for the month.

Zynga’s acquisition of Turkey’s hyper-casual specialist Rollic Games saw the company enter the top 10 download rankings in February with two titles: High Heels and Blob Runner 3D, the latter of which picked up 14.2 million downloads last month. No other publisher had two titles in the top 10, with February marking Zynga’s best month ever for mobile game downloads as it reached 80.5 million global installs.

One of last month’s biggest launches in Japan was NieR Reincarnation from Square Enix. After spending nearly its entire launch week ranked No. 1 for downloads on the country’s App Store, by the end of February it had accumulated nearly 4 million downloads and generated $22.4 million in player spending. It’s yet another example of a console/PC franchise heading to mobile and finding success, at least at this early stage.
