Success of mobile gaming
Global mobile gaming revenues were over 90 billion USD in 2021, of which battle royales accounted for more than 6 billion USD. There is no surprise that Tencent's PUBG Mobile and Garena Free Fire top the list.
According to a report by Sensor Tower, the mobile version of Call of Duty has generated more than $1.5 billion since its inception. The title was the 14th highest-grossing mobile game.
In 2021, the COD Mobile World Championship featured a massive prize pool of $2 million.
With the increasing popularity of mobile gaming, it's no wonder that every major publisher is rushing to announce/release products in that genre.
