Tencent's Mobile Gaming Revenue Boosted by Dungeon & Fighter Mobile
Dungeon Fighter Mobile's Stunning Success Makes Tencent's App Store Defiance Even Bolder
Dungeon Fighter Mobile (DnF Mobile) has exceeded expectations, significantly impacting Tencent's revenue. This success underscores the audacity of Tencent's recent decision to challenge app stores.
Last week, we discussed DnF Mobile's popularity in the Chinese market and Tencent's subsequent conflict with app stores. We explored the potential implications for Tencent's relationship with its home market's app stores.
Now, the extent of DnF Mobile's impact is clear. The South China Morning Post reports that within its first month, the game contributed over 12% to Tencent's total mobile gaming revenue. Considering Tencent's position as the world's largest gaming company by revenue, this represents a substantial sum. While the game's strong initial performance isn't surprising given the DnF franchise's popularity and typical lucrative launch periods, the context is crucial.
Tencent's bold move
The significant financial success of DnF Mobile makes Tencent's decision to challenge app stores even riskier. By removing the game from app stores, even while directing users to a direct download, Tencent is wagering a considerable amount of money. The outcome remains uncertain.
