With the launch of both PUBG and Fortnite, the Battle Royale has become a very important source of income for developers who bet on this game mode. According to the latest data, this type of game mode It has generated more than 2.000 billion dollars, both on iOS and Android.
Both PUBG and Fortnite are the two best-known games of this modality, since both are available on both consoles and PC. Only during the first quarter of 2019, both titles has generated 479 million dollars. However, there is a game that surpasses them.
As we can see in the report published by Sensor Tower, Knives Out, a free-to-play game from developer NetEase Games reaches the top position with cumulative revenue of $ 643 million since it hit mobile platforms. In second position, it is Fortnite with $ 630 million in revenue.
In third position, we find PUBG, who according to Sensor Tower has obtained a revenue of 439 million dollars. The classification does not end here, since in fourth position is Garena Free Fire with 252 million dollars. Close the classification Rules of Survival with 96 millions of dollars.
Knives Out, Garena Free Fire and Rules of Survival are both lesser known games but they have become big hits in China, due to the fact that both PUBG Mobile like Fortnite are banned in the country. Hence the saying "In the absence of bread, good are cakes."
Of course, the data that Fortnite Sensor Tower offers us so they only take into account the number of users who have spent money through the App Store, so if we add Android users to that, the figure may be much higher, despite having been launched at the same time on both platforms, since while Fortnite came to iOS in March of last yearIt was not until August when it did so on Android and not on all terminals.
The two next titles that could appear in this list consist of Call of Duty Mobile, whose first beta will be launched this week and Apex Legends, although at the moment there is no scheduled date for its launch on mobile platforms.
