AppMagic: The Most Downloaded and Highest-Grossing Mobile Games of June 2024
Based on the data from AppMagic, the App2Top editorial team has prepared a report on the most downloaded and highest-grossing mobile games of the past month: Manage Supermarket Simulator, Lost Light: Weapon Skin Treat, and Dungeon & Fighter Mobile.
The Most Downloaded Games of June
Throughout the month, the download charts experienced some changes. Notable observations include:
- the disappearance of Solo Leveling: Arise by Netmarble from all top tens (while it garnered around 18 million downloads in May, it had only 2.5 million in June);
- Wuthering Waves, aiming to be the "Genshin Impact killer," also disappeared (a month ago, it was among the top three most downloaded iOS games with 4.3 million downloads).
Regarding new projects that made it to the top for the first time, there were only two in June. Let's focus on them.
Manage Supermarket Simulator
Manage Supermarket Simulator
Publisher: Vietnamese Zego Studio
About the game: a grocery store simulator. Players, from a first-person perspective, manage a small business: setting up counters, displaying products, processing sales at the register, and using the earnings to buy new equipment, hire staff, and more.
Observation: Manage Supermarket Simulator is a clone of the Polish Supermarket Manager Simulator. The new release is strikingly similar to the original. It can only be distinguished from the earlier project upon direct comparison.
Metrics:
- total downloads in June — 23.2 million;
- downloads from Google Play in June — 23.2 million.
Lost Light
Lost Light
Publisher: Chinese NetEase
About the game: an evacuation PvP shooter that has been operational since October 2021. Players compete for loot against bots and other players. The mission is considered successful only if the player reaches the evacuation point after completing the objective.
Observation: the project gained significant downloads only after its release in China. The game debuted in the country in June and immediately started showing the best results in its history.
Metrics:
- total downloads in June — 3 million;
- downloads from Google Play in June — 0.1 million;
- downloads from the App Store in June — 2.9 million (China accounted for 2.85 million)
Highest-Grossing Games of May
No new or debut titles appeared in the top-grossing charts. Some interesting notes include:
- the revenue for Dungeon & Fighter Mobile (地下城与勇士：起源) continued to rise. While it earned $63.6 million in May, its earnings soared to an impressive $163.4 million in June. Important to note: this is after deducting the App Store's share, solely on the Chinese market, and does not include local Android stores.
Dungeon & Fighter Mobile
- Wuthering Waves could potentially rival Genshin Impact. Despite having a similar monthly download rate to miHoYo's game, Kuro Games' project reached a comparable revenue level, something that another project aiming for this niche, Solo Leveling: Arise, could not achieve;
Wuthering Waves
- the new game from Supercell, despite its high download rate (as we predicted last month, Squad Busters entered the June top five by downloads), did not make it into any of the top-grossing charts, earning $20.2 million in a month (to make the top ten, earnings need to be at least $50 million).
