AppMagic has released its November 2025 mobile market overview, offering a detailed look at global revenue and download performance. The latest figures highlight notable changes across the industry, including a new top-grossing title, shifts within established franchises, and the rising influence of hybrid-casual and emerging genres.
Revenue Momentum Shifts Across Top-Grossing Titles
November saw Last War: Survival move into the top-grossing position with $110.4 million in revenue. The title continues its strong financial trajectory following its milestone of surpassing $2 billion in lifetime player spending earlier in the year. Roblox followed closely at $108.1 million, maintaining steady revenue performance, while Monopoly GO! secured third place with $105.3 million and remained one of the most consistent earners in the market.
Honor of Kings experienced a significant downturn, generating $79.6 million, a figure not seen since September 2019. This marked decline pushed the game out of the top five, providing a rare shift in a category where it has traditionally been a dominant presence. Industry attention now turns to how its development team addresses this moment of disruption.
Delta Force continued progressing toward a top-10 global revenue position, earning $53.8 million. A substantial 96% of its revenue came from China, reinforcing the game's strong regional engagement. Honkai: Star Rail, meanwhile, recorded a major month-over-month increase, earning $47.3 million, roughly 2.5 times its October total. This spike elevated the title to 13th place in overall revenue rankings and signaled renewed player interest.
Download Rankings Reflect Genre Expansion and New Entrants
Block Blast! led global downloads with 27.9 million installs, continuing its momentum within the puzzle genre. Roblox followed with 20.5 million downloads, reflecting its broad cross-platform reach and sustained popularity. Garena Free Fire Max took third place at 19.5 million installs, maintaining its strong position in the shooter segment.
Two new titles, Jigsolitaire and Solitaire Associations Journey, entered the top 10 download chart. Jigsolitaire reached sixth place with 12.8 million installs, while Solitaire Associations Journey secured ninth with 10.5 million installs and generated over $1.5 million. Both games blend traditional mechanics with more modern, accessible designs, contributing to the continued growth of hybrid-casual experiences.
X-Clash remained a standout performer with 11.9 million downloads. Marketed visually in the style of Save the Dog titles while operating as a 4X strategy game, it generated $3.6 million in November, nearly tripling its revenue from the previous month. The game continued to hold a top-10 position, indicating that unconventional presentation strategies may be contributing to its reach.
Market Direction as 2025 Nears Its End
The November 2025 data highlights ongoing shifts in player spending and download behavior. Established leaders like Last War: Survival and Roblox continue to guide financial trends, while emerging titles in the puzzle and strategy categories demonstrate strong uptake.
The revenue fall for Honor of Kings and the rise of Honkai: Star Rail show that even long-standing franchises can experience rapid changes in performance. As the year concludes, the mobile gaming market is displaying a blend of stability among top earners and evolution within download-driven categories, shaped by new genres and shifting player interest across global regions.
