Only two titles in the top 10 overall downloads rankings were in the Hypercasual genre: Bridge Race from Supersonic Studios and Hair Tattoo from Azur Games. During July, Sensor Tower Game Intelligence shows that Hypercasual games generated 973.2 million downloads worldwide across the App Store and Google Play, the first time the category has dropped below one billion installs in a month since November 2020. That’s despite an overall rise in downloads across the mobile games market, which is facing challenges from global inflation, a cost of living crisis and privacy changes such as IDFA deprecation and recent alterations to Google Play’s ads policies.
