Report says PUBG Mobile has grossed over $800 million in 2021 so far

Players are spending over $200m a month this year.

What you need to know

PUBG Mobile is the mobile port of the popular battle royale game, in which players have to compete to be the last man standing.
According to a new report, PUBG Mobile is the highest grossing mobile game so far this year, at $832 million in player spending.
The next-highest games on the list are Honor of Kings and Genshin Impact.

PUBG Mobile was the highest-grossing mobile game for the first half of 2021, according to a recent report, grossing over three-quarters of a billion dollars just in the last six months. If these numbers are accurate, it's the most successful game out there by a considerable margin.

The report comes from Safe Betting Sites, which lists the income for PUBG Mobile as being around $832 million from January to June 2021. The next-highest-grossing game was Honor of Kings, which grossed around $664 million, then Genshin Impact at $576 million, and none of the other games in the report grossed over $500 million.

The report also tracks user spending across quarters, and it's increased exponentially from Q4 2020 to Q1 2021. Players have regularly spent more than $200 million on PUBG Mobile every month of 2021.

Rex Pascual, the esports editor for Safe Betting Sites, says ""The free-to-play, mobile version model is now adopted by numerous big titles but the PUBG franchise was one of the first major titles to do so. Proof of its success is that despite equally large rivals such as the Call of Duty franchise recently adopting the same model, PUBG Mobile remains on top of many gaming charts as shown by the data from H1."

PUBG Mobile is one of our favorite Android games, and as Pascual pointed out, it's being followed by several other games in the same genre, including Fortnite and Call of Duty. The series' undeniable success on mobile is probably why a mobile-only title called PUBG: New State is coming soon, having held its first alpha tests a few weeks ago.

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
