Roblox Genshin Impact Lead $17 Billion In Weekly Mobile Game Spending

A new report shows that mobile gaming revenue is on the rise, reaching $1.7 billion per week, and games like Roblox and Genshin Impact are leading the charge. For years now, gaming has been the largest entertainment industry in the world, and with recent global events, it just keeps growing. Mobile gaming in particular has managed to develop a significant market due to its on-the-go nature and vast audience.

Games like Candy Crush and Pokémon GO are able to make millions daily, but Roblox makes more than them combined. However, Roblox has been around for 15 years, all the while cementing its legacy in the gaming world. Meanwhile, Genshin Impact was released only a year ago, and it’s already found a way to dominate the mobile gaming market. At launch, Genshin Impact broke records with its mobile download statistics, which included 17 million downloads within the first four days of it hitting app marketplaces. Free-to-play games such as these continuously manage to be at the top in terms of player counts, but through microtransactions, companies are also managing to lead the industry in revenue.

To be more specific, the mobile gaming market (largely consisting of free and low-cost apps) has raked in $1.7 billion on a weekly basis throughout the first half of 2021, as reported by GamesIndustry.biz. This is a 24% and 40% increase compared to numbers reported on the same time period in 2020 and 2019, respectively. Although not holding as high of a percent increase, more mobile games are also meeting or exceeding $1 million in revenue on average every month. This is all according to App Annie, a data analysis company for mobile apps. App Annie lists Roblox as the top mobile game in terms of revenue so far this year, with Genshin Impact coming in at number two ahead of its 2.1 update.

Genshin Impact and Roblox both offer players grand levels of freedom, albeit in different ways. Roblox allows players to build their own worlds, and Genshin Impact provides a fleshed-out world that gives players the choice of how to approach and explore it. The magic ingredient for both is the opportunity for multiplayer experiences, something that the gaming community values highly, even more so since the beginning of 2020. Aside from these aspects, Roblox and Genshin Impact are incredibly different games, yet they’ve both skyrocketed to the top of the mobile revenue leaderboard.

If all goes accordingly, it’s predicted that mobile games will bring in $120 billion by the end of 2021, and Genshin Impact and Roblox are slated to be a huge portion of that. As long as Roblox continues to inspire creativity, Genshin Impact keeps fans engaged in its everchanging world, and they both put an emphasis on collaboration, they will no doubt stay at the top of the mobile gaming market.
