What are gamers willing to spend their hard-earned money on? Skins, multiplayer benefits, or just a cute new character. How much does virtual pleasure cost and on which projects the developers have earned the most.
It's only halfway through 2021, and mobile gamers have already broken all records of mindless spending. For six months total the amount of donation exceeded 44.7 billion dollars. "Yabloko" left 26 billion in the App Store, and the remaining amount was made by Google Play users.
TOP 5 most expensive mobile games in 2021 looks like this:
- Honor of Kings;
- PUBG Mobile;
- Genshin Impact?
- Roblox;
- Coinmaster.
The sums appear and the truth is fabulous. Only on Honor of Kings players spent 1,5 billion dollars, but they managed to invest in Genshin Impact 848 million.
Most of these funds go to loot boxes and cosmetic improvements for characters or gaming locations. Donat does not always bring real gaming benefits. Players simply want their virtual world to look beautiful, and they are willing to pay for it.
Analysts say that we will not see such a jump in donations for a long time. Gradually, the restrictions of 2020 are fading away and people are starting to play less mobile games. However, at the moment this revenue is considered absolute record for the industry. In 2020 donation income rose by 25,5%, and for the first half of 2021 jumped another 17,9%.
