PUBG Mobile is currently the most profitable mobile game in the world.

PUBG Mobile It's not only the most popular mobile game in the world, with more than 100 million players per month, but also the best result: collect more than $ 146 million in revenue last month, according to analysts' figures published by The Financial Times.

The money does not come only from the objects and skins bought by the players PUBG Mobile (which was adapted from the South Korean original on PC by Chinese technology giant Tencent), but also the money spent on branding the game in the game, Game for peace.

According to the estimates of the Chinese broker Great Wall Securities, PUBG Mobile generated $ 76 million in revenue last month, Game for peace generated $ 70 million.

This last title was published in May by Tencent after Chinese government regulators rejected PUBG Mobile for monetization. Game for peace is essentially a skinned version of PUBG Mobile with a patriotic setting and less bloodshed. Instead of dying in a pool of blood once eliminated from the game, for example, players get up and say goodbye.

These changes illustrate the difficulties faced by gaming companies in China, where the government cracked down on titles that it considered anti-social or corrupt.

In February, the government regulator completely stopped approving new licenses for video games, while existing titles had to be rewritten or incorporate deadlines. In 2017, for example, Tencent's latest successful mobile game, the fantastic MOBA Honor of kings, children under 12 years old to less than an hour of daily play and children from 12 to 18 years old at two o'clock.

Analysts are worried that these restrictions will reduce the revenues of companies like Tencent, especially because of its new brand image. Game for peace. But these latest figures suggest that the company has managed to retain its audience. Monthly combined income of $ 146 million Game for peace and PUBG Mobile now exceeds the $ 125 million collected by Honor of kings on this same period.
