Pokemon Go came in ahead of Game of War - Fire Age and Clash Royale for top consumer spend, but it’s Supercell that tops the list with Clash of Clans coming in with the biggest consumer spend this decade. Downloads has never been the best metric for financial success, as monetizing free-to-play can be challenging, and the variations in App Annie's two charts certainly back that up. Surprisingly, even though we reported that Pokemon Go had surpassed 1 billion downloads earlier this year, it failed to make App Annie's top 10 of the decade for downloads.Īnd this is where we see the big discrepancy between downloads and revenue, as Pokemon Go did place eighth on App Annie's top consumer spend chart. More established games from the decade included Clash of Clans in fifth and Fruit Ninja at ninth. The reason for its success, according to analyst Adithya Venkatraman, was down to how it performed in the Indian market, taking in over 15% of its all-time downloads across a combination of iOS and Google Play.Ĭandy Crush Saga from King came in second, with Imagi’s Temple Run 2 rounding off the top three. And yet, somehow they're not even in the top 10 when it comes to most downloaded mobile games of the decade, according to the latest report put out by analyst firm App Annie, that’s not the case.Īs part of its roundup of the biggest apps and games downloaded this decade, App Annie revealed that Subway Surfers from Danish developer Kiloo topped the most downloaded games list.

These are some of the biggest mobile game properties in history. We chat with App Annie about the research. Clash of Clans, however, generated the most money of any mobile game this decade.
