AppMagic: The Most Downloaded and Top-Grossing Mobile Games of September 2024
Basing on data from AppMagic, the editorial team at App2Top prepared a report on the most downloaded and highest-grossing mobile games from last month.
Most Downloaded Games of September
Compared to August, the download charts saw little change. Observations include:
- Roblox returned to the top spot in the overall chart. Interestingly, Roblox had fewer downloads in September than in any other month in 2024. Downloads for the app reached 16.2 million in September, compared to over 20 million in August;
- Debuting in the charts last month, My Supermarket Simulator 3D significantly increased downloads from 10.4 million in August to 14.17 million in September, allowing it to climb from ninth to fourth place in the overall chart;
- Meanwhile, another new shopping simulator, Supermarket Master 3D, disappeared from the charts, as did the Asian version of AFK Journey;
Two new entries appeared in the download charts in September. Let’s take a closer look at them.
Satisroom: Perfectly Organize
Publisher: Vietnamese Falcon Game Studio
About the Game: A meditative puzzle game about organizing spaces. Players need to unpack items, tidy up, and sort things.
Observation: The game was released in early July and for about two and a half months averaged around 80-100 thousand downloads daily. In mid-September, Satisroom: Perfectly Organize’s audience surged. The daily peak occurred on September 21, when over 671,000 people downloaded it worldwide within 24 hours.
Metrics:
- Total downloads in September — 10.8 million;
- Downloads from Google Play in September — 10.8 million.
Shawarma Legend
Publisher: Turkish Eyad Al Shafei
About the Game: A culinary time-management game. The player manages a shawarma restaurant, handling cooking, taking customer orders, and ensuring ingredients are stocked. Earnings can be spent on expanding the menu, enhancing skills, and upgrading equipment.
Observation: Shawarma Legend, like Satisroom: Perfectly Organize, was released in July. It struggled with downloads until early September when it experienced a sharp increase. Downloads then returned to their initial level, so it’s likely Shawarma Legend might exit the download charts next month.
Metrics:
- Total downloads in September — 3.56 million;
- Google Play downloads in September — 636.9 thousand;
- App Store downloads in September — 2.93 million.
Highest-Grossing Games of September
There were no new entries in the grossing charts, and the leaders remained the same as in August. Notably:
- Honkai: Star Rail returned to the highest-grossing games chart on Android following a major update. Other miHoYo games remain absent from the rankings;
- Dungeon & Fighter Mobile (地下城与勇士：起源) continues to lose ground. Once the top-grossing game, it fell to ninth place in the overall chart, earning $74.9 million from IAP in September, which is $95 million less than its peak in June;
- September was the second-best month in history for Royal Match in terms of revenue, with IAP earnings reaching an impressive $120.6 million;
- Last War: Survival achieved record monthly revenue of $117.3 million, likely boosted by a marketing campaign featuring actor Antony Starr, known for the series "The Boys," "Banshee," and "Xena: Warrior Princess";
- Whiteout Survival also hit a record monthly revenue at $101.7 million.
