By the end of January App2Top.ru Together with AppMagic, I have prepared a report on the most popular and earning mobile games in the world.
The most downloaded games of the month
The main game of January was Free Fire. The Battle Royale from Garena was among the leaders in downloads for the second time in a row, but if in December it led only the top with Android games, now it has climbed to the top of the cross-platform top. In January, the title was downloaded 24.4 million times.
The title of the most downloaded game of the month on iOS went to Coloring Match, a variation of the artist’s simulator. In it, the user needs to mix paints on the palette until the color matches the color of the object given to him. Then he can paint the model of the object with the resulting paint and sell it at auction. In total, Coloring Match, published by Supersonic Studios, collected 6.2 million downloads in January.
In January, only two new products were able to break into the top in downloads. Read more about them below.
