Top 10 Grossing Genres In 2025

This year saw a tectonic shift in the top three genres: Strategy overtook RPG, finishing 21% ahead in annual revenue 🤯

This performance was driven by the breakout success of Last War: Survival and Whiteout Survival, alongside the strong launch of Pokémon TCG Pocket and the epic comeback of Clash Royale.

Meanwhile, RPG revenue declined by 17% year-over-year. While the genre’s leading titles remain strong, the revenue peaks of Honkai: Star Rail and of Dungeon & Fighter are now easing, with no new breakout RPG launches emerging in 2025.

The Puzzle genre continues its steady growth, posting nearly a 11% increase in annual revenue. This momentum is driven by genre mastodons like Gossip Harbor: Merge Story, which already accounts for 6% of total puzzle revenue, alongside the rapid rise of Hybridcasual IAP revenue within the category 🔥
