According to Sensor Tower’s App Performance Insights, Last War: Survival by FUNFLY took the #1 position as the top-grossing mobile game worldwide. Close behind were Candy Crush Saga  at #2 and Honor of Kings at #3, followed by MONOPOLY GO!, and Royal Match rounding out the top five.

Last War: Survival's success was fueled by a constant stream of recurring events in June 2025. The game retained its mid-core player base with demanding weekly and monthly challenges like Alliance Duel and Zombie Siege, which required both individual and large-scale alliance strategy to earn valuable rewards.

Candy Crush Saga re-entered the top three in June 2025 by strategically pairing its competitive Candy Summer Cup tournament with the skill-based Candy Pins collection event. This combination catered to both competitive and casual players, creating the sustained daily engagement needed to climb the charts.

MONOPOLY GO!’s performance is driven by its frequent event cadence in Western markets, with revenue data suggesting June 2025's biggest lift came from the Rebel Racers tournament. This competitive event successfully leveraged a major Star Wars IP collaboration, fueling a player spending surge by offering highly coveted, limited-edition rewards like the exclusive AT-AT player token and Rebel Alliance shield.
