Weekly global mobile games charts: Fortnite’s mechs send the battle royale hit to number one in the US

To give our readers better insight into the global mobile games industry, we’ve teamed up with market data firm Sensor Tower to bring you exclusive weekly charts from key countries.

These rank games by free downloads, paid downloads and the top grossers across the App Store and Google Play. Each week we’ll be covering the US, Great Britain and Ireland, and China (iOS only) markets.

This week's charts cover the period from July 29th to August 4th

US charts

The US free downloads chart saw little movement on Google Play, as Lion Studios’ Mr Bullet aimed straight for another week at the top of the charts.

Good Job Games’ Color Fill 3D made the biggest splash, placing first on iOS and sliding into 10th spot on Android.

Epic’s introduction of mechs in Fortnite has seen the battle royale phenomenon return to the peak of the top grossing chart on the App Store. Supercell's Clash of Clans was held off in second place, but managed to secure first on Google Play.

Great Britain and Ireland charts

Mr Bullet held strong for another week in the free downloads chart in Great Britain and Ireland on Android, while Good Job Games repeated its US success on iOS.

FunsTime Beach Clean climbed to second on Google Play in its debut week, alongside Neon Play’s Idle Tap Strongman that grabbed fourth on the App Store.

Coin Master continued to make it rain by holding off all other competition in the top grossing rankings across both stores. WB Games’ Game of Thrones: Conquest and Fusebox Games’ Love Island The Game both saw a bit of a comeback, returning to the iOS charts at ninth and 10th respectively.

China charts (iOS only)

In China, Kunpo’s My Little Home made it two weeks in a row at the top of the download chart, while Hero Games’ Hero of War broke its way into the top 10 to claim sixth.

Ggame Studios’ Dissimilated Land also went two for two by topping the paid charts in the country.

Tencent once again secured all top four positions in the top grossing chart, with Crazy Racing KartRider being the biggest change, moving up to second from fourth.

Condor Heroes 2 from Perfect World managed to lock down eighth spot for a strong first-week outing.

You can meet with many of the companies mentioned in these charts at our Pocket Gamer Connects events. The next conference will take place in Helsinki on October 1st and 2nd. Head here for further details.
