Apex Legends
Mobile games are responsible for the growth of the market in July, writes SuperData.
Their income increased by 14% compared to July last year. But there were cases of a serious drop in revenue on mobile. For example, FIFA Mobile revenues for May, June and July fell by 50% year-on-year.
The desktop market, as already mentioned, has sunk. In annual terms, PUBG sales decreased, although it sold 1.1 million copies in July. Another battle royale -Apex Legends — earned $37 million at the beginning of the second season, which is half as much as at the beginning of the first. But GTA Online shows good growth. The new addition of Diamond Casino allowed her to raise revenue of $69 million for the reporting month.
The revenue of the console market has fallen, as in the case of the desktop. The players’ spending on fritupley titles decreased by 50%. Nevertheless, we note that on July 26, Fire Emblem: Three Houses was released on Switch, and its digital sales reached 800 thousand copies by August. This is the strongest start in the history of the franchise, which was previously pointed out by NPD.
