PUBG Mobile continues to lead the mobile gaming pack in both popularity and revenue generation. According to Sensor Tower, a trusted mobile analytics firm, Tencent's battle royale powerhouse has now exceeded $7 billion in lifetime gross revenue across all platforms.
Though it missed out on Esports Mobile Game of the Year honors, PUBG Mobile dominates revenue charts, surpassing Free Fire for two consecutive years amid surging player spending in recent months.
Sensor Tower data shows PUBG Mobile, including all regional versions, generated $2.6 billion in revenue from July to September 2021. Lifetime totals on Google Play and App Store now stand at $7 billion.
