Tencent’s Call of Duty Mobile has been downloaded 148 million times in its first month, making it the second most downloaded mobile game in its debut month after Pokémon Go, according to Sensor Tower.
Call of Duty Mobile marks another hit for Tencent, averaging 4.9 million downloads a day on Apple’s App Store and Google Play. The game beat out Mario Kart Tour, which had 123.9 million downloads in its first month. It’s twice as big as the start for PUBG Mobile, another popular Tencent game, and nearly four times as large as Fortnite’s mobile launch.
The game is currently still awaiting government approval in China, where early responses suggest it could also become a big hit. When PUBG Mobile was rereleased as Game for Peace in China with approval for monetization, it allowed the game to surpass US$1 billion in revenue.
