Dungeon & Fighter Mobile is a massive contributor to Tencent\'s mobile-gaming revenue

Author : Amelia Feb 10,2025

Dungeon Fighter Mobile's phenomenal success underscores Tencent's bold defiance of app stores. The game's impact is staggering: in its inaugural month, DnF Mobile contributed over 12% to Tencent's total mobile gaming revenue – a significant sum for the world's leading gaming company by revenue.

This makes Tencent's decision to challenge app stores even more audacious. By removing DnF Mobile, a game generating such substantial income, from app stores and directing users to a direct download, Tencent is taking a considerable financial risk.

The company chose its most financially successful mobile title to challenge the established app store distribution model. The outcome remains uncertain, but the gamble is undeniably significant.
