1 - Brawl Stars, Brawl Stars was downloaded over 9 million times and grossed over $68 million in June 2024,
Brawl stars has seen a MASSIVE resurgence in popularity recently, mostly led by countries such as France, Spain, Turkey, Germany, South Korea, Italy, Poland, Brazil, the United States and Canada, the game has become a sensation in a lot of countries recently due to free rewards from the developers, community events, increase in update quality + frequent updates, collaborations that effect gameplay such as the Godzilla collab, and probably most importantly, the increased advertising budget, which means if you live in a select specific few countries you’ll constantly be shown brawl stars advertisements.
In a select specific few countries, the popularity of brawl stars matches that as the popularity of Minecraft and Roblox, and its even more popular in some.
One of the reasons for the games success is the extremely short matches which never exceed 4 minutes, which makes it easy to play on the go when you barely have any time, and more casual to play then other traditional moba games.
The most popular countries for brawl stars are Brazil, Turkey, France, and the United States. (Excluding Russia, as it’s no longer available there)

2, Mobile legends, Mobile legends was downloaded almost 7 million times and earned over $17 million in June 2024
Mobile legends continues to be the most popular MOBA game in Southeast Asia, no other moba game even comes close, in fact no other game in general besides “Roblox” (despite having a younger playerbase on average) and maybe “Free Fire” really comes close to the popularity of mobile legends in Southeast Asia.
the reason why mobile legends is so successful in the region is simply due to the fact that it was one of the first good mobile moba games, the game is very accessible, has a strong extremely popular esports scene, constant frequent updates, and has good marketing in the countries where its most successful
The country’s where mobile legends is most popular are Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, and Brazil.

Honor of kings is the most popular mobile game in China, however this list doesn’t include China and recently Honor of kings globally launched at the number 3 spot for most popular mobile MOBAS, one of the reasons I imagine it hasn’t been more successful globally is the insanely huge competition from mobile legends, wild rift, and potentially even brawl stars.
Excluding China The most popular countries for Honor of kings are Indonesia, Brazil, Turkey, and the Philippines.
Excluding China Honor of king’s global launch is currently generating the most revenue in Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, and Cambodia.

4, Wild rift
Wild rift was downloaded 600k times and earned $5m in June 2024
Wild rift is generally less popular than its main competitor, the reason the game was made, “mobile legends”, it has struggled to compete with mobile legends in the regions which it aims to be successful in, however that doesn’t mean the game is unpopular, the game has its playerbase and still earns millions of dollars per month, especially in China where the game is decently successful.
Mobile legends already had a very big established user base, and was designed specifically for mobile, which made it hard for riot games to convince people to switch from mobile legends to wild rift.
mobile legends also seems to get more frequent content updates.
Excluding China, The most popular countries for wild rift are Brazil, Philippines, Turkey, Vietnam, South Korea and Japan.
Excluding China, the top grossing countries for wild rift are the United States, Brazil, Mexico, Philippines and Turkey.
Wild rift was downloaded 600k times and earned $5m in June 2024
5, Pokemon Unite
Pokemon unite was downloaded 1m times and earned $1m in June 2024
Pokémon unite has a relatively small community, the reason for this is relatively unknown considering it’s based on the biggest media franchise of all time.
Pokemon unite’s most popular countries are Brazil, India, Mexico, the United States, and Japan.
There’s no information available about where the game makes most of its money, but I imagine it’s the United States and Japan, keep in mind tho brawl stars made more money in the last month then Pokemon unite has made in lifetime revenue.
Pokemon unite was downloaded 1m times and earned $1m in June 2024
