In the Top 10 Mobile Game Downloads Chart, an interesting pattern emerges. If you look closely, you'll notice that both the App Store and Google Play feature two almost identical action apps from the same publisher.
But upon closer inspection, there are differences.
What are these differences?
On the App Store, the games "和平精英" and "PUBG Mobile" are listed. They are essentially the same game, with "和平精英" being the localized version of "PUBG Mobile" for China.
On Google Play, the games "Free Fire" and "Free Fire Max" appear. "Free Fire Max" is an enhanced version of "Free Fire," designed to offer a better visual experience while maintaining compatibility and interoperability between the two.
Why are these games so popular?
- In September, several apps known for their stability on Google Play experienced a decline, including "Subway Surfers", "Ludo King", and "Roblox".
The drop in the first two games might be partly due to increased competition in India, which is a major market for these games on Google Play, accounting for 21.92% and 81.45% of their downloads in September, respectively.
The decline in Roblox's performance may be attributed to the back-to-school season in September.
- In September, a new game, "Satisroom - organize perfeita" (Satisroom: Perfectly Organize), surged into the Top 10 of the Google Play download rankings with 10,056,780 downloads, jumping an impressive 168 places.
Below, I will focus on analyzing the biggest winner of September, the new game "Satisroom - organize perfeita" (Satisroom: Perfectly Organize), which broke into the Google Play Top 10.
