“Gossip Harbor continues its seemingly inexorable growth that has characterized its entire life, increasing U.S. revenue by 12% through September,” said Sam Aune of Sensor Tower.
“Clash Royale showed a slight month-on-month decline, although its overall position is still around 4x where it was at the start of the year.”
Elsewhere, video game content revenue rose 1% to $4.3 billion, while hardware revenue jumped 36% to $351 million, driven by sales of the Nintendo Switch 2.
