Analysts have presented the top 10 most profitable mobile games for the first half of 2026.

MobileGamer.biz published a ranking of the ten most profitable mobile games for the first half of 2026. The list is compiled based on data from the analytical platform AppMagic. Calculations take into account the net revenue of developers from in-game purchases, excluding Apple and Google commissions, as well as advertising revenue, sales through web stores, and third-party Android markets in China.

The undisputed leader was Tencent's MOBA Honor of Kings, which surpassed the $1 billion mark. In January, the game set a record, earning almost $194 million in a month, after which its monthly revenue consistently stayed at $140-160 million, dropping to $110 million in June. Approximately 98% of the project's revenue still comes from the Chinese market.
