The biggest movement was in free-to-play console games, which generated 458% more revenue last year than in 2017. SuperData again pointed to the Fortnite factor as an explanation for that huge growth.
These are the top ten free-to-play games by revenue for 2018, according to SuperData:
1. Fortnite, Epic Games - $2.4 billion
2. Dungeon Fighter Online, Nexon - $1.5 billion
3. League of Legends, Riot Games, Tencent - $1.4 billion
4. Pokemon GO, Niantic - $1.3 billion
5. Crossfire, Neowiz Games - $1.3 billion
6. Honour of Kings, Tencent - $1.3 billion
7. Fate/Grand Order, Aniplex - $1.2 billion
8. Candy Crush Saga, King, Activision Blizzard - $1.1 billion
9. Monster Strike, Mixi - $1.0 billion
10. Clash Royale, Supercell, Tencent - $0.9 billion
Inevitably, the digital premium games market was much smaller than free-to-play, but at $17.8 billion in annual revenue (up 10% over 2017) it remains a significant sector.
It was also a sector dominated by Western territories. North America and Europe contributed four of every five dollars (80%) spent on premium games in 2018, driven by the steady migration of sales from physical copies to digital downloads.
1. PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, Bluehole - $1.028 billion
2. FIFA 18, Electronic Arts - $790 million
3. Grand Theft Auto V, Take-Two Interactive - $628 million
4. Call of Duty: Black Ops IIII, Activision Blizzard - $612 million
5. Red Dead Redemption 2, Take-Two Interactive - $516 million
6. Call of Duty: WWII, Activision Blizzard - $506 million
7. FIFA 19, Electronic Arts - $482 million
8. Monster Hunter: World, Capcom - $467 million
9. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege, Ubisoft - $440 million
10. Overwatch, Activision Blizzard - $429 million
