In May, the two leading Supercell titles earned $193 million. This is $7 million less than in April and $58 million less than in March.
The fall in April was largely due to the loss of Clash Royale’s aggressive feature in app stores. The May decline in indicators can also be explained by the final stabilization of the indicators of the new project of the Finnish company.
Despite the decline in box office figures, Clash Royale and Clash of Clans continue to be among the three highest-grossing mobile games in the world, taking second and third places, respectively, – the American research company Superdata reports in its report on digital game sales.
In her report, she also mentions that the main hit of May in terms of numbers was the new Blizzard game – the Overwatch multiplayer shooter. Digital sales of the game on PC and consoles amounted to more than $269 million.
Most of the amount of the game was earned from the PC. On consoles, Overwatch only closed the top five box office blockbusters, most of which earned Uncharted 4, namely $56 million.
