β€‹β€‹πŸ‘‘ Fortnite: King of the Multiplayer Action Hill

According to Sensor Tower, in just under seven months since launching as an invite-only beta on March 15, the iOS version of #Fortnite from Epic Games has grossed a total of $300 million worldwide, with about 65% of that coming from players in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ.

To have some context, Fortnite has grossed about 32% more than Supercell’s Clash Royale launch in March 2016, and more than 200% as much as #Tencent’s smash MOBA Honor of Kings managed on China’s App Store in the same amount of time post-release.

As for the fastest game to hit $300 million on #iOS, that was Niantic’s mega-hit #PokemonGO, which achieved this feat in just 113 days.

πŸ“± 2018's Highest Grossing iPhone Apps

#Netflix was by far the highest grossing #iPhone and #iPad app in 2018, bringing in 790 million dollars. Tencent’s video streaming app was the second highest earning iOS app, grossing 490 million dollars. Netflix blew the other top ten apps out of the water, racking up 62 percent more revenue than second-place iOS app,Tencent.

While Netflix outperformed #Tencent, video streaming and sharing applications did well overall, dominating the top ten list. Seven out of the ten highest grossing iOS apps were video streaming or sharing applications. Notably, half of the apps were owned by Chinese companies like #Baidu, Tencent, and #Alibaba.

πŸ“Š Facebook Inc. Dominates the Social Media Landscape

When people think of #Facebook as a company, they mostly think of it synonymously with Facebook the social network. However, Facebook Inc. is much more than that, as today’s chart nicely illustrates. With #WhatsApp, #Instagram and of course the namesake Facebook and #FacebookMessenger, the company owns four of the world’s largest social media / messaging services.

Facebook alone is used by more than 2 billion people per month and both WhatsApp and Messenger also have surpassed the billion user mark, according to company data aggregated by DataReportal. #Tencent, the Chinese company behind #WeChat, Qzone and messenger QQ also boasts more than two billion users in total, but it still doesn’t come close to matching Facebook’s global footprint.
