Mobile Gaming Revenue
Everyone’s playing mobile games on their iOS and Android powered devices, and the numbers of downloads continue to soar, even as paid games are growing less and less popular. If more people are downloading free apps than paid ones, then how are developers making any money? There are several ways that the most popular free mobile games rake in the big bucks. Here are just a few.
While it’s true that many developers offer free game apps for the mobile platform, it’s also true that most of them already have a few mega successful paid apps under their belts. They actually use the “free version” of a popular paid game to help lure people into buying the full version with more levels and/or better graphics. There are also many games supported by ads, either directly or very discreetly via special arrangements with other popular digital or media related properties. Check out this infographic to see how your favorite free game makes money.
