Activision Blizzard's mobile games make more money than console and PC sales combined

More than half of Activision Blizzard's revenue came from mobile games in April - June 2022.

According to Activision Blizzard's most recent financial report, the developer/publisher generated £535m from its PC and console sales in Q2 2022 - £275m on PC and £310m consoles - while £688m came from its"mobile and ancillary" business, which the company says"primarily include[s] revenues from mobile devices". That's more than 50 per cent of its entire net revenue for the period.

Just a year ago across the same period, mobile, console, and PC earnings were £658m/$795m, £612m/$740m, and £520m/$628m respectively, which means only its mobile business has increased its net revenue year-on-year: console revenue, on the other hand, has almost halved.

After falling to 22 million monthly active users for the quarter ending in March 2022, Diablo Immortal has helped Blizzard back to 27 million for the quarter ending at the beginning of July.We want to make Eurogamer better, and that means better for our readers - not for algorithms.

Sad

They been absent from PC for almost a decade now.

What good console/pc game did they make in the past few years

Almost as if they're made for that exclusive purpose. Who'd of thought

What a joke of a headline...

remember this the next time you p2w. vote with your wallet.

Wait, you’re telling me that outsourcing other companies to make storefronts for gambling addicts, children, and chinese people who don’t have games is more profitable than producing actual products? Damn, crazy. It’s almost as if micro-transactions should be heavily regulated

Not difficult to understand.

Well yeah? It’s almost like mobile games are heavily monetized.. to insane levels

Wel....yeah? They haven't released anything?
