April’s top grossing mobile games: Honor of Kings, LastWar, Whiteout Survival, Royal Match, more

 

Here are last month’s top grossing mobile games based on in-app purchase earnings, according to Appmagic data.

These IAP estimates do not include ad revenue, web shop spend, Apple and Google’s 30% cut or revenue from China’s Android ecosystem.

There’s commentary on which way the biggest earners are trending, and other interesting tidbits from the top 20 and beyond below.

In between these monthly updates, you can keep tabs on Appmagic’s top grossing and top downloads charts anytime here.

Regular chart-topper Honor of Kings has had another (relatively) typical month, despite its overall spikiness – it posted IAP revenue of $138m, about $5m more than March’s total.

LastWar Survival is down a little by IAP revenue for the second month running with a total of $114m for April – a good $35m lower than this game’s recent peak earnings in December and July 2025.

Another typical month for Whiteout Survival sees Century Games’ 4X strategy pull in about $110m, and similarly Royal Match, Roblox and Gossip Harbor are each down a little month-on-month, but broadly in-line with what they usually earn.

PUBG Mobile, however, dipped under $100m last month after a strong January-March period which peaked with a whopping $129m earned in February. April’s total of $92m is way below that, of course, but pretty healthy compared to the drastic drop-off this game saw between October and December last year, when it was earning around $50m.

Rounding out the top ten, there’s another steady trio: Candy Crush Saga, Monopoly Go and Kingshot each earned roughly the same as they did last month, though Kingshot is the only one of the three to grow month-on-month.

April’s top grossing mobile games: 11-20

11. Coin Master (Moon Active): $52.7m
12. Delta Force (Tencent): $51.3m
13. Township (Playrix): $39.8m
14. Honkai: Star Rail (Mihoyo): $36.8m
15. eFootball (Konami): $36.1m
16. Gardenscapes (Playrix): $36.08m
17. Royal Kingdom (Dream): $35.2m
18. Brawl Stars (Supercell): $34m
19. Toon Blast (Take-Two): $31.4m
20. Free Fire (Garena): $30.3m

There’s a lot more movement outside the established giants in the top ten, with Tencent’s Delta Force having yet another quietly lucrative month, rising four places and back over the $50m mark.

Honkai: Star Rail has seen another big comeback, which it seems to enjoy every two to three months – having earned a measly $6m in January, it has grown every month since and hit ~$37m for April.

Konami’s eFootball doesn’t get much attention but it has been growing steadily since 2022 – another spike in earnings for April pushed it past $36m, close to the all-time peak of ~$40m in achieved back in July 2025.

Toon Blast is another title that’s been around for years but has seen beefy growth since a big boost in last 2023. It’s back earning over $30m again, not far off the all-time high of $34m it earned in January.

Outside the top 20, Pokémon Go once again dipped just under the $30m mark and falls nine places month-on-month.

Japanese players are spending big in Xflag’s Monster Strike and Bandai Namco’s SD Gundam G Generation Eternal. April saw each game post a big month-on-month earnings rise, earning $28.4m and $28m respectively.
