'League of Legends', 'Mortal Kombat 11', 'Honour of Kings' Dominate Global Digital Games

---

So far 2019's top grossing games are ranked in three categories: PC, console and mobile.

'Mortal Kombat 11,' 'League of Legends' Dominate Global Digital Games. Both titles are popular in South Korea, where PC games tend to be more common than console games, so both are likely to be the highest-grossing digital games in the world. You can see the top 10 computer games by revenue per month in the chart below:

The massively popular "League of Legends", a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) from Riot Games continues to dominate the PC gaming front, followed by free to play "Dungeon Fighter Online".

For mobile, Chinese game "Honour of Kings" grabbed the first spot. This insanely popular game, property of Tencent, has over 200 million players and was the highest grossing mobile game of 2018. Unfortunately, the western version "Arena of Valor" is nowhere to be seen in the top ten. Following "Honour of Kings" is another Chinese mobile game, an MMORPG called "Perfect World."

For console gaming, the freshly-released "Mortal Kombat 11" came in at number one, despite the controversy around reports of NetherRealm's workplace toxicity issues. "Fortnite: Battle Royale," the free to play mode of "Fortnite" follows behind the fighter game, which is not surprising at all. Fortnite generated the most annual revenue of any game in history and popularized video game viewing among mainstream audiences. But Asia was strong, with seven of the top 10 games in 2018 and 62 percent of overall free-to-play revenue.

The Chinese games market seemingly dominated the worldwide mobile games ranking for the month of April 2019, but more Western-recognizable titles like "Candy Crush Saga", "Clash of Clans," and "Pokemon Go" do still fill out the rest of the top ten.

Mobile games led the way in 2018 with $61.3 billion in revenues, compared with $35.7 billion on the PC and $12.7 billion on game consoles. Within PC games, $17.0 billion of the revenue was free-to-play, $7.3 billion was social, while $7.6 billion was premium and $4.2 billion was pay-to-play. Within console games, $10.7 billion was free-to-play and $2.0 billion was premium.

We look forward to the revenue of the game in 2019. It is also expected that League of Legends will become the hottest mobile game in 2019.
