DTC is Already a $17B Market For Mobile Games

Before our eyes Direct-to-Consumer went from a nice-to-have feature to one of the biggest opportunities in the industry 💪

Now GDC and AppCharge have put a number on it: $17B!

In their report, they explore:
— What the fee changes set in motion
— The business and player benefits early adopters are seeing
— How DTC helps build a competitive moat

Our Head of Market Insights, Alina Zlotnik, shares that DTC revenue in the US grew 26% year-over-year based on AppMagic data 🚀

These days we can see how leading players like Monopoly GO! and Last War: Survival are actively investing in DTC. However, interestingly, many games aren’t aggressively pushing DTC purchases, allowing players to choose their preferred payment method freely instead.
