While Honor of Kings maintains its place at the top, the biggest surprise is the massive rise of the 4X strategy duo—Last War and Whiteout Survival. Both titles have more than doubled their year-on-year revenue, knocking out several long-time leaders from the top three.
Pokémon TCG Pocket, a relatively new entrant, has made a major impact with nearly $500 million earned so far.
Roblox suffered a drop in iOS revenue, which may explain its year-on-year dip—from $563 million in 2024 to $361 million in 2025.
Honkai: Star Rail declined by over $100 million compared to the same period last year, while Genshin Impact held steady around the $220 million mark.
