Based on the AppMagic database, the App2Top editorial team has prepared a report on the most downloaded and highest-grossing mobile games of the past month — Manage Supermarket Simulator, Lost Light: Weapon Skin Treat, and Dungeon & Fighter Mobile.
Most Downloaded Games of June
The download charts underwent some changes over the month. Notable points include:
- Solo Leveling: Arise by Netmarble disappeared from the top ten (if it garnered about 18 million downloads in May, it collected only 2.5 million in June);
- Wuthering Waves, aiming to be a “Genshin Impact killer,” also vanished (a month ago, it was among the top three most downloaded games on iOS with 4.3 million downloads).
Regarding projects that entered the top for the first time, there were only two such cases in June. Let's focus on them.
Manage Supermarket Simulator
Manage Supermarket Simulator
Publisher: Vietnamese Zego Studio
About the Game: A food store simulator. The player manages a small business from the first-person perspective. They set up shelves, arrange products, check out items at the register, buy new equipment with earned money, hire staff, and so on.
Observation: Manage Supermarket Simulator is a clone of the Polish Supermarket Manager Simulator. The new release is strikingly similar to the original. It can only be distinguished from the earlier project through direct comparison.
Metrics:
- Total downloads in June — 23.2 million;
- Google Play downloads in June — 23.2 million.
Lost Light
Lost Light
Publisher: Chinese NetEase
About the Game: An evacuation-based PvP shooter that has been operational since October 2021. Players fight for loot against bots and other players. The mission is considered successful only if the player reaches the evacuation point after completing the task.
Observation: The project did not see significant downloads until its release in China. The game debuted in the country in June and immediately began showing its best results to date.
Metrics:
- Total downloads in June — 3 million;
- Google Play downloads in June — 0.1 million;
- App Store downloads in June — 2.9 million (2.85 million came from China)
Highest-Grossing Games of May
No new or newly-appeared titles in the grossing charts. Notable points include:
- Dungeon & Fighter Mobile (地下城与勇士：起源) continued to see revenue growth. While it earned $63.6 million in May, its earnings in June reached a staggering $163.4 million. This is after the App Store’s cut, solely from the Chinese market, and without accounting for local Android stores.
Dungeon & Fighter Mobile
- Wuthering Waves can realistically compete with Genshin Impact. With comparable monthly downloads to the miHoYo game, Kuro Games’ project reached a similar level of earnings, something which another project targeting the same niche, Solo Leveling: Arise, failed to do.
Wuthering Waves
- Supercell's new game, despite its high download levels (as we predicted last month, Squad Busters entered June's top-5 downloads), did not make it into any grossing charts, earning $20.2 million in a month (to make it into the top ten, you need to earn at least $50 million).
