On mobile as on other platforms, the two royal battle PUBG and Fortnite are fighting a battle without thanks in terms of players and income. Even if Fortnite dominates the market, PUBG does not weaken and manages to surpass the game of Epic Games on the American Apple Store in terms of revenues.

Since April, Tencent has decided to monetize its mobile PUBG game through microtransactions. The royal battle has, however, always been surpassed by its Fortnite rival in terms of revenue. According to Sensor Tower, PUBG Mobile has finally achieved better financial results than its rival on the US Apple Store last week. The two games can only be compared on this platform because Fortnite is only available on Android recently.

PUBG Mobile dominated its competitor two days in a row on November 21 and 22, a first for the Tencent game. Even though it lasted only two days, this increase in revenues enabled PUBG mobile to obtain a better average over the week than Fortnite with 1.5 million euros against 1 million euros generated on average per day. for the game of Epic Games.

Tencent's game performance seems to be closely tied to Black Friday, with players generating nearly three times more microtransactions than usual on the Google Play and Apple Store. The Chinese giant's revenue also exploded compared to the previous week, rising from 3.9 million to 10.5 million euros. Another reason that may explain these revenues may be the launch of the Royale Pass in the image of Fortnite's proposed Combat Pass.

Tencent also said that its revenue generated in the United States accounted for only 30% of its total revenue for its mobile royal battle. Indeed, mobile PUBG dominates Fortnite in Asia and particularly in China where Android users outnumber those of Apple. It is possible, however, that the Chinese giant's revenue will drop dramatically the day Epic Games decides to launch its game on Google Play,
