Honor of Kings beats PUBG Mobile to become the highest grossing mobile game in March 2021

PUBG Mobile is currently one of the most popular mobile games in the world. It was extremely popular in India but the Indian government later banned the battle royale game in the country under the Section 69A of the IT Act, 2000. PUBG Mobile was banned alongside several other Chinese apps including TikTok, Camscanner, among others.

The battle royale game recorded 240.5 million USD in player spending and most of the revenue (around 59.7 percent) came from China followed by United States with 9.8 percent. To reiterate, the PUBG Mobile game is rebranded as Game for Peace in China. To recall, the battle royale game was the highest-earning game of February 2021, with 250 million USD in revenue.

The list is led by Honor of Kings, which is also developed by Tencent. The mobile game regained its top spot as the highest-earning game in March 2021 after being displaced by PUBG Mobile last month. Honor of Kings grossed 257.5 million USD in revenue, marking a 63 percent growth from March 2020.

As per the report, the Honor of Kings is very popular in China, which contributes a whopping 96.3 percent of the total revenue, followed by 1.6 percent from Thailand and 1.2 percent from Taiwan.
