Top 10 Publishers by Games Revenue in Q1 2026

This quarter, the unbeatable top three remains unchanged. Tencent showed +15% QoQ revenue growth, driven by the return to growth of its key titles like Honor of Kings and PUBG Mobile 🔥

Century Games delivered +49% YoY revenue growth, while almost stabilising QoQ. However, the publisher saw a growing user base, increasing by +20% QoQ and +77% YoY, driven by Kingshot and Tasty Travels: Merge Game.

Dream Games kept revenue relatively stable both QoQ and YoY, while continuing to scale its user base: downloads grew +28% QoQ and +53% YoY. Notably, Royal Kingdom surpassed Royal Match in downloads in March, reaching nearly 1.5x higher installs. This quarter, the game became the driver of the company’s metrics, which would have otherwise declined.

One publisher that showed notable results across both revenue and user base acceleration is Microfun. Revenue increased by +16% QoQ and +115% YoY, driven by strong growth of Gossip Harbor: Merge & Story. The same title also fueled +50% QoQ and +46% YoY growth in downloads 💪
