This new development only appeared in the US App Store, but the Google Play Store still has games in the top ranks, followed by non-gaming apps. After May, according to Sensor Tower’s Q2 2022 data review, about 50.3% of earnings came directly from non-gaming in June in the US. the US App Store about five years ago. The difference is huge and there are many factors that contributed to it. This change shows how the US Apple Store has been able to expand the economy by adding different types of apps to their App Store so they can generate more revenue. If we talk about the past revenues, in 2019 and 2020 the earnings for gaming apps were at an all-time high. But post-Covid, the change could be clearly seen because the non-gaming app outperformed gaming by a huge margin. But this is still not good news, because as the number of non-gaming apps has increased, there is still a chance that games will dominate after the Covid outbreak. Reports say that in Q2, games may once again take over and non-gaming apps will be left behind. But to say anything before the time is right is foolish. The most downloaded non-game this quarter of the semester was TikTok, and it was in the top 8 times out of ten in the last quarters. It grossed around 187 million in the market.

Subway Surfer had 80 million downloads while Free Fire had 70 million downloads this semester. Read next: Gen Z is poised to become the educated generation in pursuit of a happy life
