The 2025 global revenue ranking for the top 30 Chinese mobile game publishers has just been unveiled. Tencent has firmly cemented its position as the market leader, thanks to the immense popularity of games like Honor of Kings and Peacekeeper Elite, which have propelled it to the pinnacle of annual revenue rankings.

This year, the global mobile game market witnessed a total revenue of USD 82.3 billion, marking a 1.3% year - on - year increase. The overseas market revenue was particularly impressive, reaching USD 69.8 billion, a 2% year - on - year surge.

China's top 30 mobile game publishers, as a collective force, generated a revenue of USD 23.3 billion. This impressive figure accounts for 35% of the total revenue generated by the global top 100 publishers.

On its 10th anniversary, Honor of Kings soared to new revenue heights, a testament to its effective operational strategies. Another Tencent title, Delta Force, also experienced explosive growth, further solidifying Tencent's dominance.

Century Games delivered an outstanding performance, securing the second - place spot. Meanwhile, the rankings of other well - known publishers such as FunPlus, MiHoYo, and NetEase saw some shifts.

It's worth noting that "SLG+" (Strategy Game with Additional Elements) and merge - based gameplay have emerged as the new driving forces for growth in the industry. Some publishers, even those outside the top 10, have managed to contribute significant revenue by deeply tapping into specific regions or game genres.
