Top 2021 Mobile Games for each generation

AppAnnie has recently produced a report breaking down mobile gaming in 2021 based on monthly users’ age (among many other things).

Mobile gaming is a market that shows no sign of stopping (as indicated in AppAnnie’s report), and that is set to surpass $120 billion (USD) in players’ spending for 2021 ($100 billion USD in 2020, AppAnnie).

This spending prediction corresponds to 3.1 times the spending observed on consoles/PC.

Note that the data below is determined by monthly American users based on their group age.

Are you playing the top games for your age?

We most certainly are not, but it remains interesting to see that older people have a higher tendency to play casual games that require less of a long investment (time-wise), compared to younger generations. Clearly, they are generally more likely to have responsibilities and engagements that will require them to be able to disconnect rapidly.
