It has become easier for developers to bring games to the top of the top downloads in the App Store and Google Play, according to Sensor Tower analysts. They found out that over the past two years, the number of installations required to get to the first place has decreased significantly. At least in the USA.
Now the game needs to generate 93 thousand downloads every day to take first place in the top of the American App Store. This is 46% less than was required in 2019.
In Google Play, it is enough to collect 37 thousand downloads per day — 68% less than in 2019.
Analysts mentioned that in Russia you need to collect 4 thousand downloads a day to enter the top ten most popular games in the local App Store.
