Summary
Today, we revisit 15+ mobile games we’ve covered in the past to see which ones are growing, peaking, or dying. From Vita Mahjong’s $200K/day AdMon empire to Century’s King Shot at $3M/day, here’s the brutally honest state of mobile gaming right now.
Highlights:
Vita Mahjong: 7M DAU, $200–300K/day
Love & Deep Space: $7M/day gacha spikes
Magic Villains: Backed by $60M raise, scaling fast
King Shot: Our pick for “Game of the Year” (so far)
Supercell’s Mo.Co flop vs Clash Royale comeback
Last Z: $6.6M/day forex monster from Vietnam
DramaBox/RealShort: Short drama apps making $100M+/month
Disney Solitaire: Movie tie-ins fueling $650K/day
Chess.com: 14M DAU, $200K/day from app alone
Takeaway: The curse of the podcast is broken (mostly) — nearly all games are still growing, proving 2025 is the year of scale in AdMon, forex hybrids, and gacha monsters.
