Came across this info recently and posted it in the Console doomsday thread but feels this info needs it's own thread.

But what I found interesting is the combined chart.

I've combined the charts and this was the result.

• 1. Fortnite, Epic Games - $2.4 billion
• 2. Dungeon Fighter Online, Nexon - $1.5 billion
• 3. League of Legends, Riot Games, Tencent - $1.4 billion
• 4. Pokemon GO, Niantic - $1.3 billion
• 5. Crossfire, Neowiz Games - $1.3 billion
• 6. Honour of Kings, Tencent - $1.3 billion
• 7. Fate/Grand Order, Aniplex - $1.2 billion
• 8. Candy Crush Saga, King, Activision Blizzard - $1.1 billion
• 9. PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, Bluehole - $1.028 billion (not including F2P mobile revenue, it'd otherwise be near the top)
• 10. Monster Strike, Mixi - $1.0 billion
• 11. Clash Royale, Supercell, Tencent - $0.9 billion

Had to stop here because there is probably some other mobile/PC F2P games that GAF has never heard of that had higher revenue than FIFA.

This is quite interesting data, but I'm really not sure what to make of it. Never even heard of a handful of these.

 

[frogger]

World of Warcraft didn't make it?

It might have but it would be in a different list(P2P), haven't researched those numbers yet.

 

[TacosNSalsa]

GTA is till making over half a billion a year..fucking hell ..also very very happy to see Monster Hunter World up there

 

[Stuart360]

GTAV made 628mil in 2018?, damn. The gift that keeps on giving......to Rockstar!

 

[Leonidas]

Just looked up two of top 5 games that I never heard of.

600M registered users for Dungeon Fighter Online(this is also on Steam) and CrossFire. That's massive.
The amount of money these games have generated is astounding and these games have seemingly been near the top of the gaming market for years.

Ya. Haven;t heard of half of them. Some of these games are old as hell too. I thought the Crossfire game was the vehicle combat game..... (actually called Crossout when I googled it). Turns out Crossfire is a Counterstike kind of game from 10 years ago. played in China and Korea.

Sad that PUBG made so much, I'm glad BR has grown to better offerings now.

 

[Dargor]

World of Warcraft didn't make it?

I'd be surprised if it did, most people that still talk about WoW are saying this expac is on the same lvl or even worse than Warlords of Draenor.

I'm happy each time a familiar game makes the combined list

PUBG making all that money is why you have better offerings now. It proved there was a substantial, sustainable market for BR.

I'm pretty sure Activision/EA/Epic didn't look at The Culling and say, "We need a piece of that!", lol.

 

[a multicultural team of v]

DFO is that popular? Is it actually getting MORE popular? I haven't played in years, since they brought it to the west... I didnt realise it was still being supported like that. Is it still basically 640x480, or whatever low res it used to be?

If PUBG didn't happen BR wouldn't be what it is right now.

 

[Cunth]

Clash Royale only a pathetic 0.9 billion

 

[Golgo 13]

What the fuck?

Are most of those mobile games only released in Japan? I seriously don’t recognize 4 out of the top 10, whatsoever, and I follow gaming pretty closely.

 

[Kagey K]

[Unknown Soldier]

Fate/Grand Order lurking in the top 10. It's the only truly story-driven mobile gacha game out there. Well that and historical figures gender-bent into waifus.

I don't do charts, but was just about to create a thread based off this "data".
One way that it can be looked at is that Fortnite's revenue is down by 50% since December according to: https://www.gamewatcher.com/news/fortnite-revenue-down-since-december
Dropping it here since there's nothing new in the article that hasn't been covered by the SuperData piece for the most part.
