Dec 11, 2025

According to Sensor Tower's store intelligence platform, the rankings for revenue and downloads of Chinese mobile games in overseas markets for November 2025 have been released. Data from Sensor Tower's app performance and operational activity insights show that leading mobile games capitalized on key holiday periods such as Halloween, Black Friday, and Thanksgiving through high-intensity in-game events, effectively driving player spending and sustaining revenue growth.

DianDian Interactive's flagship titles, *Whiteout Survival* and *Kingshot*, once again dominated the overseas revenue chart, securing the top two spots. *Whiteout Survival* maintained its position as November's highest-earning game, fueled by Halloween events in late October, Thanksgiving promotions in late November, and the "Frostdragon Tyrant" alliance battle event. Meanwhile, *Kingshot* held steady at No. 2, boosted by its "Double 11 Choice Packs Await!" campaign and Thanksgiving activities.

Lemeng Game's *Gossip Harbor* retained its third-place ranking, thanks to the Thanksgiving event "Turkey-tastic Times" and the New Year card-collecting event "As The Clock Turn," ensuring stable revenue growth and reinforcing its dominance in the merge genre.

Florere Game's post-apocalyptic survival strategy title *Last Z: Survival Shooter* leveraged its unique blend of evasion-based shooting and base-building mechanics, benefiting from the enduring appeal of SLG hybrids in overseas markets. The game saw an 11% revenue increase in November, ranking No. 4 in revenue and No. 2 in growth. By December 6, its global cumulative revenue surpassed $400 million, with the U.S. (42%) and South Korea (16%) as key contributors.

miHoYo's *Honkai: Star Rail* surged 130% in overseas revenue following its Version 3.7 update, "Tomorrow as Yesterday," which introduced a new finale storyline, the 5-star character "Xilian," and fresh gameplay modes. The game topped the global grossing charts on launch day and climbed 10 spots to No. 6 in November's revenue rankings.

Other notable performers include *Tasty Travels: Merge Game*, which saw a 10% revenue rise with its "Winter Tales" album event and Black Friday promotions, holding steady at No. 17. *Flambé: Merge & Cook* achieved a 20% revenue increase, reaching a new peak at No. 22, driven by Halloween and Thanksgiving events.

ByteDance's Nuverse debuted *BLEACH: Soul Resonance*, a 3D ARPG based on the classic anime *BLEACH*, which topped download charts in multiple regions upon its November 21 launch. Within 10 days, it entered the growth chart at No. 5.

Glacier Network's *X-Clash* saw a 200% revenue spike, debuting at No. 6 in the growth rankings, with cumulative earnings exceeding $10 million—68% from the U.S. Lingxi Games' *Nobunaga's Ambition: Real War*, a strategy title based on Koei Tecmo's iconic IP, entered the growth chart at No. 9 after its release in Greater China.

New entrants to the growth rankings included idle RPG *Lootfiend: Idle Dungeons*, action RPG *Azure Planet: The King is Busy*, MMORPG *Genesis*, and hybrid RPG *Duet Night Abyss*.

In downloads, Hungry Studio's *Block Blast!* rose 4% month-over-month, securing the top spot. Glacier Network's *X-Clash* maintained its No. 2 position with nearly 35 million downloads, while Moonton's *Mobile Legends: Bang Bang* climbed 5% to No. 3.
