US firm Scopely’s digital spin on the classic board game Monopoly Go! topped the global mobile game market in May, grossing $226 million in revenue from the App Store and Google Play, while Chinese developer Tencent’s multiplayer online battle arena game Honor of Kings secured second spot with $219 million, according to market intelligence platform Sensor Tower. Another notable Tencent entry in the top 10 was the mobile version of Dungeon and Fighter, which was only released in China on May 21, but still achieved over $100 million in revenue in only 10 days to rank eighth in the global mobile game market for the month. In May, global mobile game players spent nearly $6.7 billion on the App Store and Google Play, with the Chinese iOS market accounting for 19.2% of the total, the report added.
