Less players, more engaged
Activision Blizzard also broke out King's MAUs, with 355 million MAUs in Q4, a decrease of 39 million MAUs quarter-on-quarter. Overall for 2016 King's portfolio of games took in 405 million MAUs.
These players are also highly engaged, spending an average of 34 minutes a day on King games. Bookings for King games also increased for the sixth consecutive quarter while the Candy Crush series maintained stable sales.
King was acquired by Activision Blizzard for $5.9 billion back in November 2015. With relatively stable sales since the deal closed, it looks like the investment was a smart move for the publisher.
