Top 10 Worldwide Mobile Games By Revenue and Downloads in October 2024

According to Sensor Tower's App Performance Insights, Tencent's Honor of Kings maintained its position as the top global mobile game by revenue in October 2024, with a 10% month-over-month revenue increase—primarily from China through the App Store. This revenue spike was largely driven by the game’s Ninth-anniversary celebrations, which introduced a highly anticipated limited-edition skin for the hero Sang Qi. The unique “Sweet wormwood” skin, inspired by the plant’s historical significance and modern Chinese aesthetics, struck a chord with players, fueling high engagement and in-game spending throughout the event period.
