TOP FIVE MOBILE GAMES MADE $7.2B IN 2022

 * Tencent's “Honor of Kings” posted $2.2 billion in revenue in 2022, up from
   $1.7 billion in 2021.

There’s a bright spot for a gaming industry that has seen lackluster profits. 

The world’s five top-grossing mobile games generated $7.2 billion in revenue in
2022, an increase of $400 million from the year prior, according to data
analytics firm Sports Lens. 

The sales were led by two titles from video game and internet conglomerate
Tencent, which posted the strong results despite a crackdown by Chinese
regulators on approvals for new video game licenses and the amount of time
children can spend on gaming per week.   

 * “Honor of Kings” posted $2.2 billion in revenue in 2022, up from $1.7 billion
   in 2021. 
 * “PUBG Mobile” generated $1.7 billion in 2022, down from over $2 billion the
   year prior. 
 * Action role-playing title “Genshin Impact” from miHoYo made $1.5 billion in
   2022. 
 * King.com game “Candy Crush Saga” generated $1 billion in revenue last year. 
 * Online game creation platform Roblox rounded out the top five at $862 million
   in 2022. 

Mobile is the fastest-growing gaming category, and the market is projected to
exceed a valuation of $215 billion by 2028, per SkyQuest Technology Consulting. 


ATTRACTIVE INVESTMENT
