Another trend is distribution of mobile games from messaging app platforms, especially widespread in Asia.
Asia-Pacific was the largest mobile gaming market in 2014. In China alone, close to a quarter of a billion people were mobile gamers. In Japan, smartphones and tablets accounted for more than half of the total gaming revenues, while in South Korea mobile games managed to triple their share of the games market in just one year. South East Asia is another promising mobile gaming market, as more people there already are playing mobile games than online computer games.
In the USA, mobile gaming revenues from in-app purchases are growing much faster than from mobile game downloads. Similarly, in France free-to-enter games were most played on mobile devices. In Germany, smartphones topped computers as the device most used for game play last year and in the UK free mobile games had the highest penetration of all game types.
