(Nevada).- A report published by Sensor Tower revealed that during the mobile gaming upsurge in 2020, user revenue dedicated to simulation genre games rose by 61.8%, as opposed to numbers in 2019.
Following the simulation applications at second place were casino games, a genre reliant on the likes of online gambling and such. Since no actual money is involved throughout the gaming process, save for spending for in-game items, such apps were the only excess allowed to most people, frugality being a leading theme of 2020 for most individuals. Casino titles oversaw a year to year end growth of 48.9%, generating $4.5 billion in user-spending revenue.
Interesting to note, however, is that while simulation games saw a ridiculous amount of growth in terms of revenue, downloads show a slightly different picture. In another 2019 to 2020 report, growth in terms of app downloads were measured for each genre and presented. Casino titles took over from second place to establish a solid first position, seeing 27.5% increase in downloads year to year end.
Simulation could not even generate second place, as the puzzle genre took over with a download growth of 19.5%, even if users held onto their wallets tighter in this case. Simulation games took third place with only an 11.2% increase in downloads across our year to year end period.
