모바일게임 순위According to the weekly integrated sales ranking of the data platform company Mobile Index on the 17th, ‘Lineage M’ regained the top spot in sales rankings for the second week of May (May 6th to May 12th) after 4 weeks.
The fact that Lineage M regained the top spot in sales rankings was largely due to its ranking in Google Play, which has the highest market share among app markets.
Lineage M recently performed updates such as opening the global master server ‘Temple of the Void’. The Temple of the Void is a global server where Korean and Taiwanese users can meet on one server, and it seems to have received a lot of attention from existing users during the May holidays.
Meanwhile, NCsoft’s ‘Lineage W’ also rose 4 levels to 5th place.
Chinese games took a break from their momentum, but showed their continued strength. Last War: Survival, a Chinese game by Firstfun that ranked first in Google Play sales last week, fell to second place this week, ranking second on Google Play and first on the Apple App Store. The decline in sales on Google Play was a major factor.
Joynice Games’ Mushroom Growing took third place again. Mushroom Growing pushed out Goddess of Victory: Nike, which ranked third last week.
Goddess of Victory: Nike, developed by Shiftup in Korea, fell five places to eighth place.
Netmarble’s games were notable in the rankings for the second week of May. The new game ‘Only I Level Up: Arise’ (hereinafter referred to as ‘Only I Level Up’) debuted in the top sales ranking at 10th place. ‘Only I Level Up’ was released simultaneously on PC and mobile platforms in various global regions including Korea on the 8th. It has been receiving a hot response, such as taking first place in domestic app store sales immediately after its release, and also reaching first place in Google Play on the 13th, achieving first place in both major markets at the same time.
Netmarble’s other popular game ‘Fate/Grand Order’ also rose 41 levels to 20th place.
Global games, excluding Chinese games, are also showing an upward trend, with Supercell’s ‘Brawl Stars’ rising 6 levels to 4th place, and ‘Roblox’ rising 14 levels to 7th place.
It seems that domestic games are doing well in their own way, even amidst the rising rankings of Chinese games and Brawl Stars and Roblox, which have dominated the global market. The fierce competition over mobile game sales rankings is expected to intensify in the future.
