The most downloaded games in March
The tops of free games have changed significantly over the past month. Out of the worth of attention:

- also, the previously headed Eggy Party from the Chinese NetEase disappeared from the iOS top;
- Brawl Stars returned to high positions, the project entered the Top 2 downloads in the world on iOS.
There are also many projects in the top, either released in March, or previously not so high on the chart. Let's look at each of them in more detail.

The highest-grossing games in March
A significant change in the grossing tops is the disappearance of Genshin Impact. Most likely, the title will not be available until exactly the next major event or update. So far, it is only obvious that a monthly salary of $ 40 million is not enough to consolidate in the box office charts.
But another game, miHoYo, has strengthened its dominance in the top grossing. In March, Honkai: Star Rail entered the top 3 highest-grossing games on iOS and the top 5 highest-grossing mobile games overall. Its box office last month amounted to almost $ 77 million.
Also in March, a novelty appeared in the box office charts.
