AppMagic: Top Mobile Games by Revenue and Downloads in August 2025
No breakthroughs this month, and the same old names are generating revenue and downloads.
AppMagic provides revenue data net of store commissions and taxes. Revenue from Android stores in China is not included.
Revenue
Honor of Kings returned to the #1 spot. In August, the game made $169.9M. 97% of all revenue came from China.
PUBG Mobile entered the top 3 with $129.1M. This is the game’s best result since January 2023. These numbers do not include revenue from the Indian version of PUBG Mobile, which is operated by KRAFTON.
Pokémon GO grew further in August, reaching $69.7M. The game climbed 5 spots to enter the top 10. This is the best revenue result since July 2024.
Kingshot continues to scale, hitting $64.8M in August. Almost half of this revenue comes from the US, which is the game’s biggest market. South Korea comes second, followed by Japan.
Fate/Grand Order keeps proving its incredible longevity (it launched 10 years ago). In August, it generated $53.6M, the highest revenue since August 2022. The game’s anniversary is celebrated in August, and it looks like both developers and players went big for the 10-year milestone.
Downloads
Downloads charts this time have fewer new things than usual. The top 15 doesn’t include any new titles, with the usual leaders on top: Roblox (38.3M downloads), Block Blast! (22M), Subway Surfers (17.4M).
Worth noting - FPS Strike Ops: Modern Arena has been consistently pulling strong install numbers throughout 2025 (over 10M). The developer’s account also features 9 other shooters in different settings.
