The Honor of Kings, the immensely popular MOBA title for smartphones from Tencent, has reclaimed its top spot for the highest revenue for a mobile game app from across the globe.
As per a new report from SensorTower, Honor of Kings from Tencent brought in a total close to 240 million US Dollars in user spending in September 2020. This does not include third party Android stores and showcases a significant growth of 87 percent from September 2019. China was the dominating market with a 96 percent share in the overall revenue within the game, followed by Taiwan with just 1.5 percent and Thailand with 1.2 percent revenue share.

The “Top Mobile Games by Worldwide Revenue for September 2020” list also includes known names like PUBG Mobile, that arrives second in both overall and iOS stores, while Coin Master came in third. Notably, PUBG Mobile didn’t make the top 10 list in Google Play revenue list, while Coin Master didn’t make the cut either but for the iOS App Store revenue rankings.
Previously, we had reported on the explosive rise and popularity of Genshin Impact, which became the second highest grossing game for a week, bringing in 60 million US Dollars, but it did not make an appearance on the list. Back in August, the rankings for the highest grossing video game application had PUBG Mobile take the top spot for the month, but Honor of Kings has reclaimed its title.
