According to analysts, only two other games released in 2023 surpassed the $1 billion mark on mobile devices faster than Whiteout Survival — MONOPOLY GO! and Honkai: Star Rail.
However, as noted by Sensor Tower, Whiteout Survival had a very modest start. In its debut month, the game earned just over $1 million. However, its monthly revenue steadily grew, peaking at $100 million in June 2024. Analysts expect the total for July to be even higher. Sensor Tower believes the game achieved such results due to its innovative approach to the 4X strategy genre, inspired by casual and hyper-casual games.
The main market for Whiteout Survival has been the United States, accounting for 35% of its revenue. South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan also made the list of top-grossing markets.
