The mobilegamer.biz podcast is a concise, banter-free digest of what’s driving the mobile games business.
Every week, mobilegamer.biz founder and editor Neil Long goes on a walk and tells you what’s going on in under 20 minutes.
In this episode:
- A close look at those fascinating top 10 downloads and top 10 grossing games of 2026 so far lists, based on AppMagic estimates
- A ramble though a popular story about Godforge, a new rival to Raid: Shadow Legends, from new studio Fateless
- Yet more Google news, this time a $1bn fine from the EU for anticompetitive practices, including making it difficult for developers to steer players outside of its Play Store ecosystem
- Invincible: Guarding the Globe game has nearly doubled Ubisoft’s mobile revenue, though things have gone very quiet with those Rainbow Six and Division mobile games
- Stillfront is still looking for a CEO and a strategic review is ongoing, but its Q2 financials were decent
- Devolver rereleased Ojiro Fumoto’s indie banger Poinpy for free, with no IAPs or ads but a tip system if you want to give the dev money
- Looney Tunes have taken over from The Simpsons in the latest season of Monopoly Go
- Data nuggets from Skillz Vs Papaya, casual games in H1, Capcom, Candy Crush, Ludus, Circana, Embrace and Neon
- A very brisk run through the last soft launch and new games updates
- The lush ambient sounds of a man walking around a beautiful wood next to a golf course
