The highest-grossing mobile game is Honor of Kings (2015), also known as Arena of Valor internationally, a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game published by Tencent that has grossed over $18 billion in lifetime revenue. Five other Tencent titles on the list are also from their subsidiary Supercell.
