Since the beginning of 2016, we saw a significant increase in mobile game installs. China was a powerhouse in the first quarter eclipsing the US in number of game installs. However, the popularity of Android and iOS devices showed significant variations by region. Among the top 10 countries in terms of total game installs, Brazil and the Republic of Korea are the countries with the highest percentage of game installs on Android, while Japan has the highest share of iOS installs.

Android continues to lead global game installs, but iOS users upgrade to the latest version more rapidly. While most iOS users are on version 9.0 (released September 2015), the most popular Android versions are still Kitkat (4.4) and Lollipop (5.0 and 5.1).

Beyond the platforms, what does the device landscape look like? Samsung holds an overwhelming lead globally. However, China is an exception with strong local brands, led by Xiaomi. Apple customers prefer their games on iPhones compared to iPads. Even more interesting, though, is the fact that people appear to be holding on to older versions of their iPads — the opposite trend of iPhones.

In Q1 2016, around 220,000 Unity-made games generated 4.2 billion installs across 1.7B unique devices globally. That’s a hefty amount of data, and now we’re making the insights and trends that it reveals available to you. Enjoy!
