PUBG Mobile has become one of the highest revenue grossing games in the first half of 2021. If we take a look at the top-grossing game with the highest spendings in-game it is none other than Honor Of Kings. The Honor of Kings is the tops the list of highest-grossing mobile titles globally.

PUBG Mobile and other localized versions of the title for China, Game for Peace/Peacekeeper Elite, and recently released beta launched “Battlegrounds Mobile India.” PUBG Mobile has approached $1.5 billion in consumer spending taking it to the No. 2 position. PUBG Mobile is one of the top-grossing titles in 2020 where it has generated an average of $7.4 million each day, crossing the $5 billion mark in March. These figures are inclusive of App Store and Google Play spending only and do not reflect revenue from third-party Android stores in China and elsewhere.
