The report said that in the first half of 2021, there were over 810 games surpassing $1 million in consumer spend each month on average, with 7 of them surpassing $100 million. This number was up 25% from 2019 at 650 games over $1 mn in monthly spend and only 2 over $100 million in monthly spend. Furthermore, the report says that India remained the world’s biggest mobile gaming market as far as iOS and Android downloads are concerned in the first half of 2021. This trend was fueled by the adoption of smartphones by the expanding middle class and advancements in technical capabilities and increased connectivity of mobile devices.
