Pokemon Go just had its best year ever in 2019 -- even better than its 2016 launch.
Last year, Niantic's location-based Pokemon title brought in $894 million, according to Sensor Tower. That's up from its previous high year in 2016, when it brought in $832 million. Pokemon Go brought in $589 million and $816 million in 2017 and 2018, respectively.
That made it the fifth-highest-earning mobile game worldwide this year, behind Candy Crush and above Monster Strike. The top-grossing game in 2019 was Honor of Kings, which neared $1.5 billion in revenue.
In particular, August and September helped bolster Pokemon Go's revenue -- its best months since the summer of 2016. $116 million was generated in August, and $126 million in September following a major update to the game that added Team Rocket. The only months Pokemon Go has seen that were bigger than those were in 2016: $256 million in July 2016, $195 million in August, and $141 million in September.
The US was responsible for most of Pokemon Go's revenue this year, contributing $335 million. Japan was in second, with $286 million, followed by Germany at $54 million. 54% of spending was on Google Play, and the rest was on iOS.

Apple has introduced an annual tier for its mobile game subscription service, Apple Arcade.
The new payment option was added without fanfare, but it was spotted by the German website iFun.de. A screenshot shows the option to purchase an annual subscription to Apple Arcade for €49.99.
At present, a monthly subscription in Europe costs €4.99, so the annual tier effectively grants two free months of Apple Arcade.

Last month, we reflected on the increasing influence of console and PC IP on mobile, headlined in October by the launches of Mario Kart Tour and Call of Duty: Mobile. In November, there was no place in the worldwide top ten grossers for those big releases.
Sensor Tower Store Intelligence data shows Activision's Call of Duty: Mobile falling to 24 from 12 month-on-month, though it still brought in an impressive $31.8 million in gross revenue. Nintendo's Mario Kart Tour dropped to 57 from 27, generating $16.4 million. There was still room in the top 30, however, for eight franchises that started life on PC and console -- down just two from October.
New to the overall top ten in November was Sony's hit mobile RPG Fate/Grand Order, which generated $54.3 million, a 10% month-on-month increase. NetEase's Fantasy Westward Journey picked up $53.3 million, despite a fall of 11% from October.

The combined revenues generated by mobile games reached $41.5 billion in a single 12-month period -- more than 15 times higher than the $2.77 billion generated by the next biggest category, Entertainment.
That's according to Liftoff's Mobile App Trends Report, which looked at the entire breadth of apps on iOS and Android between September 1, 2018 and August 31, 2019.
During that time, iOS apps made $22.51 billion based on in-app purchases and advertising in games, while Android titles made $18.94 billion. The combined total was 4.27% higher than last year's $39.8 billion. Entertainment apps, meanwhile, made $2.42 billion on iOS, $351 million on Android.
The report also shared average retention rates, with casual games the fourth highest category on Day One, retaining 31.1% of users. This was only beaten by news, comics and social casino games, none of which were higher than 33%. For day seven, casual games' retention average dropped to 9.8%, then to 3.5% on Day 30.
Hardcore games, meanwhile, showed Day One, Seven and 30 retention rates of 29%, 9% and 3% respectively. Midcore games were reported at 29.3%, 7.3% and 2%.
The average time between installation and an in-app purchase for games was reported as one day, 22 hours and 35 minutes -- longer than shopping, dating and finance (the latter of which was one hour, ten minutes).
Games were also the biggest category in terms of the number of downloads. 15.3 million downloads were recorded on iOS and 41.2 million on Android, making for total of 56.5 million. Again, the second biggest category was Entertainment with 8.4 million (2.7 million on iOS, 5.7 million on Android) -- 573% lower than games.

PUBG Mobile earned at least $1.3 billion in revenue in 2019, according to estimates from the data firm Sensor Tower.
The Tencent-backed mobile shooter first launched in February 2018, and yet its earnings in 2019 represent 88% of all spending tracked by Sensor Tower. PUBG Mobile's lifetime revenue from the App Store and Google Play has now exceeded $1.5 billion.
The single most valuable market is China, which accounts for $614 million, or 40% of lifetime revenue -- and that is particularly impressive when viewed in context.

Supercell's Clash of Clans was the top-grossing mobile game of the decade, while Subway Surfers was the most-downloaded, according to mobile data and analytics firm App Annie.
The top-downloaded title from 2010 to 2019, Subway Surfers, passed 2.5 billion downloads in mid-2018, and was the first-ever game to reach 1 billion downloads on Android alone. It has continued to grow since, including reaching the third most-downloaded title for 2019 alone. The game was launched by Dutch developers Kiloo and SYBO Games in 2012, and has since gone on to spawn an animated series and lifestyle brand.
On the list of top-downloaded games in 2019 alone, No.8 Homescapes had reached 223 million downloads by November, and Call of Duty Mobile was downloaded 148 million times in its first month. It was also named Mobile Game of the Year by both Google Play and The Game Awards.
By revenue, Fate/Grand Order was No.1 for 2019 and No.5 for the decade. But for 2010 to 2019, Supercell's Clash of Clans wore the crown. Its last major milestone was grossing an estimated more than $6.4 billion as of earlier this year.
For comparison, Pokemon GO at No.8 for the decade had surpassed $3 billion in lifetime revenue in October of this year.

Call of Duty Mobile has generated just short of $87 million in its first two months on app stores, although spending slowed in its second month.
A new report from Sensor Tower shows the mobile free-to-play shooter made $31 million last month, which combined with the $55 million in its opening month of October puts revenues well over $85 million.
Unsurprisingly, the US is the game's biggest market, accounting for 42% ($36 million) of its total spend. Japan was the second largest, contributing 13.2% ($11 million) of its revenues, with Britain in third at 3% ($2.6 million).
Most of the revenue -- 59.2%, more than $51 million -- came from iOS. This is more than the $10 million PUBG Mobile earned on the platform during its first two months, but less than the $66 million achieved by Fortnite.

NetEase has begun beta test of its own cloud gaming service, picking up on a trend that fellow industry giants (including rival Chinese company Tencent) are collectively beginning to embrace.
According to Chinese outlet GameLook (as translated by TechNode), the service went live this month and currently only supports mobile games, though PC games are planned for down the line.
The launch roster includes support for 38 different games, 20 of which are published by NetEase. Tencent's Honor of Kings and Bilibili's Fate/Grand Order are included as well. Games can be played either by visiting the website through a phone browser, or through a dedicated app for Android. Graphical quality is adjustable based on connection speed.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare set the record for best digital game launch this year, selling an estimated 4.75 million digital units in October according to SuperData.
In its October digital games market report, SuperData has Call of Duty: Modern Warfare as the bestselling digital title on console and the sixth bestselling title on PC (by total earnings). Activision Blizzard's first-person shooter only launched at the end of the month, on October 25.
Modern Warfare was beat out on PC by League of Legends at No.1, several popular games in China -- Dungeon Fighter Online, Fantasy Westward Journey Online II, and Crossfire -- and World of Warcraft, which is still enjoying a boost from the launch of World of Warcraft Classic in August.

Like Xbox Game Pass before it, Apple Arcade is vying to prove that the subscription model can transform the games industry just as it has other forms of entertainment. However, unlike Game Pass, the mobile service stands to reach a far broader audience thanks to the ubiquity of the devices that carry it.
Apple Arcade is still very new, having only launched in September, but it already has 100 games in its catalogue. At a recent event in London, head of content strategy Nicola Sebastiani said he believes this is "unprecedented within platform launches." The variety of games on offer is not insignificant, again speaking to the wider audience developers can reach through smartphones (and tablets, Macs and Apple TV, as the firm kept reminding us).
This reach is "invaluable" to studios like Italian startup 34bigthings, said co-founder Guiseppe Franchi. The developer's Arcade offering, sci-fi shooter Redout: Space Assault, is a prequel to the original Redout, which mainly appealed to hardcore PC gamers. With touch screen controls, or the ability to pair your device with a controller, 34bigthings has made Space Assault more accessible in the hopes of attracting a broader range of players."[Apple Arcade] will ultimately benefit our gaming ecosystem and gaming as a whole. This is complementary to games on the App Store, and just one more way to play"
Nicole Sebastiani, Apple
The game was originally going to be self-published on PC and console (and will still launch on these platforms next year), but its inclusion in Apple Arcade as part of a subscription is both a "good deal" and opportunity for the studio.
Similarly, Lifelike -- the "mesmerising particle symphony" by Vienna-based indie Kunabi Brother -- is the type of game that stands a better chance of reaching people through a subscription. Based around various meditation concepts, this spiritual successor to the team's previous game Frost would have been "very risky" to release as a premium title.
"This is a very exotic and daring game concept, so Apple Arcade was the perfect game platform at the perfect time," said the studio's Julia Angerer.
Lifelike was officially produced by Apple, which means it was also at least partly funded by the electronics giant. While Kunabi Brother can't go into the specifics of the deal -- the same answer given by every developer on Arcade -- this "definitely encouraged us to take the risk to produce this."
Both Lifelike and Redout, along with most other games at the showcase, were previously planned as premium titles before their developers secured deals to launch on Apple Arcade. And Apple is also keen to offer games exclusive to the service, collaborating with more familiar names to produce them.

Southeast Asia is the current fastest-growing mobile games market in the world, and is expected to grow 17% year-over-year in 2019 according to Newzoo.
Per the market researcher's report on the Southeast Asian games market (consisting of Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam), the region will generate $2.6 billion in mobile games revenue in 2019, and $4.3 billion in revenue in 2019, up 13% year-over-year.

Though we don't have sales numbers on Google Stadia's launch, an extremely rough approximation can be gleaned from the number of downloads of the mobile app, which stand at over 175,000 according to Sensor Tower.
The app appears to be effectively necessary to use Google Stadia, as it is the only way to purchase games and allows users to cast games to their browsers or TVs via Chromecast. While those who have not purchased Google Stadia can still download the free app from the App Store or Google Play, without an access code received from purchasing Stadia, the app is useless.
Sensor Tower has shared that 90.7% of all downloads of the Stadia app were on Android, while the rest were on iOS. The platform split may be at least in part due to the fact that Stadia can only be played on mobile via Pixel phones, making it a more appealing prospect to those already going through the Play Store in the first place.

Minecraft Earth launched in the US last week, and though its slow rollout is sparking interest, it still has a ways to go before it catches fellow location-based AR giant Pokemon Go.
According to a report from mobile analyst Sensor Tower, Minecraft Earth saw 1.4 million downloads in the US since its launch on November 12. In total, US users represent 86% of all Minecraft Earth downloads, which globally stand at nearly 2.5 million.
Minecrafth Earth has had a slow-but-steady rollout, with a beta in select cities earlier this year and the initial launch in October starting in Australia and New Zealand.

Apple's answer to the struggles of premium mobile titles, Apple Arcade, may have already managed to accelerate the decline of such titles not on its service, though said decline was already chugging well along on its own.
Sensor Tower reports that paid game revenue on the App Store declined 13% from the period of August 20 through September 18 this year to September 19 through October 18 -- Apple Arcade's launch month. Some of that decline can be accounted for by a normal seasonal drop, though the decline over the same period last year was only 4%.
That's still a significant difference, but it may also be attributed at least in part to the ongoing decline of premium titles on the whole, a process that's been steady since 2015. Per Sensor Tower's findings, premium games have grossed a total of $337 million on the App Store year-to-date as of September 30, which is less than 2% of all App Store revenue. That number was much higher in 2015, with full-year paid game revenue totals reaching nearly $642 million -- 5.4% of all revenue. Apple Arcade would need approximately 11.7 million subscribers paying for 11 months (after the one-month free trial) to equal the amount of money generated by paid games on the App Store in 2015.
In fact, free game revenue has increased each year from 2014 through 2018, while premium game revenue has declined both in dollar amount and share of all revenue since 2015. So have new game releases, with paid game releases on the App Store going from 26% of all new releases in 2014 to 7% of new releases so far in 2019. Currently, nearly 13% of all App Store games are paid.

Nintendo has revealed plans to introduce a two-tier paid subscription model to Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp.
Released in October 2017, the mobile adaptation of one of Nintendo's flagship franchises has grossed around $111 million lifetime revenue.
However, following the surprise implementation of the subscription model in Mario Kart World Tour, Nintendo has given the greenlight for a similar system for Pocket Camp.
There is currently no information on the pricing and limited detail on features, but according to an in-game update the two tiers will offer very different perks around admin and storage.
