Gaming accounted for nearly 75% of global mobile spending in the first six months of this year, grossing $29.6 billion for the period.
That's according to market intelligence firm Sensor Tower, which has released data on spending figures across Google Play and the App Store for H1 2019.
Overall, spending on mobile games and apps is up 15.4% this year, reaching more than $39.7 billion across both the leading mobile storefronts.
While game spending on mobile was up 11.3% year-on-year, growth was hampered on the App Store somewhat by a downturn in spending on iOS in China. Coupled with the hangover from last year's game approval freeze, App Store spending only saw 7.8% growth during H1 2019, but still reached $17.6 billion
Google Play however saw game spending rise 16.8%, reaching $12 billion for the period.

Niantic's eagerly anticipated Harry Potter: Wizards Unite is off to a reasonably good start, but still sits in the shadow of Pokémon Go.
That's according to Sensor Tower data, which reports the game racked up around 400,000 installs in its first 24 hours after launching in the US and UK on Friday.
Player spending across the App Store and Google Play reached at least $300,000 during the same period.
However, Sensor Tower notes that at the same point after its launch, Pokémon Go has been installed around 7.5 million times in the US (it didn't launch in the UK until the following week). It had also generated around $2 million in player spending.

InnoGames' browser-based and mobile strategy title, Forge of Empires, has earned €500 million ($568 million) in lifetime revenue since its launch in 2012.
Of that total, over half of it was raised in the last two years. The game reached €250 million in lifetime revenue back in 2017, following successful releases on iOS and Android.
German developer InnoGames has over 400 employees, and saw record sales in 2018 with its mobile revenue up by 37%, according to PocketGamer.biz. Last year, it closed its secondary Dusseldorf location, merging the majority of its team to its Hamberg HQ.
The company is currently looking to fill a number of open positions in Hamburg, both on Forge of Empires and other existing titles, but also for work on a new, unannounced mobile MMO.

SSF PreviewVer R2 is released. SSF is a Sega Saturn emulator for Windows systems using DirectX 9.0b. The current version claims near-complete implementation of the Sega Saturn hardware (not counting emulation bugs), and can emulate the Saturn based Sega Titan Video arcade hardware too. As with most emulators, CDs or disc images are not included and have to be owned separately. The BIOS is also not included; as of 0.07 Beta R3, games run without the BIOS however. The usage of BIOS files is optional but recommended for better compatibility, and needed for tasks such as management of the contents of the internal memory of the Sega Saturn, or setting the system clock.

Games remains the single most lucrative mobile app category, according to new data from App Annie, comprising 74% of consumer spending in 2018 -- but it has fallen significantly behind video in terms of how long users spend in apps.
App Annie's annual report showed that 95% of spending on games was through in-app purchases, with just 5% on paid downloads.
The dominance of games in mobile spending is well established -- as is the dominance of in-app purchases as the primary revenue stream for developers -- but other data points in App Annie's report are more surprising.
Despite the huge amount of money spent in games, it is one of the weaker categories in terms of time spent in apps, with just 10%. The number of hours spent in games has increased 30% since 2016, but this rate of growth is behind other key app categories.
The most notable of those is video players, which enjoyed a 125% increase in time spent across the same time period. In 2016, App Annie's data showed games and video as roughly equivalent, but mobile users are now spending far more time watching video than playing games -- 15% of time spent, versus 10% for games.

PUBG Mobile now has 50 million daily active users outside of China.
According to the latest official figures, PUBG Mobile has passed 400 million downloads, and has 50 million daily active users -- excluding China, where publisher Tencent recently replaced it with a government approved clone, Game for Peace.
These figures have doubled in just over seven months, when PUBG mobile had 200 million downloads and 30 million daily active users.
The game's popularity is also matched by its revenue. In an article in The Financial Times this week, the analytics firm Sensor Tower estimated that PUBG Mobile and Game for Peace earned a combined $146 million in May alone -- making it the top-grossing mobile game in the world.

Yesterday’s iOS/iPad OS 13 announcement was jam-packed full of features although the ones that stood out the most were probably the much-hyped dark mode, the significantly improved volume indicator and swipe keyboard.
However, there’s more than just these 3 features and a significant one for gamers is support for the PlayStation 4’s DualShock and XBOX One S controllers. This means if you have an iOS device, you can finally use existing controllers rather than have to shell out for significantly more expensive MFi controller, some of which even lack certain buttons
If you want to try out iOS 13, you’ll either have to wait till September to get the final release or you can jump on the beta bandwagon although getting developer betas this time is a bit trickier since there are no beta profiles available and installation must be done through an IPSW file via iTunes (as ironic as it may sound). Otherwise, you may check out the full feature list here.

A Pokémon press conference was hosted last night and announced a number of interesting expansions for the series, including a cloud storage service.
Pokémon Home builds on the concept of Pokémon Bank, which allows players to store and transfer their various captures between different games. Launching next year, Home will allow players to manage their monsters across multiple games, including Switch titles Pokémon Let's Go: Pikachu/Eevee and the upcoming Sword and Shield.
It will also connect to Pokémon Bank, granting them access to monsters from previous games. As a cloud service, it can be accessed via Nintendo Switch as well as a smartphone app for iOS and Android. Using the app will even allow fans to trade monsters with other players without the need for a game.
Also coming to mobile next year is Pokémon Sleep, a new app that interacts with how players sleep. Full details will be unveiled later, but the company says the hours spent sleeping and the time users wake up will affect the gameplay.
Pokémon Sleep will connect with the newly-announced Pokémon Go Plus +, a device that uses a built-in accelerometer to track both players movements during the day and their sleep patterns at night. Data from the former will be used in Pokémon Go, as it was with the original Plus device, while the latter will interact with Pokémon Sleep.

Google has updated its policies for mobile games on the Google Play store to prevent kids from accessing inappropriate content.
The move follows recent reports that the company's decision to allow developers to rate their own titles was being abused. Apps carrying all-ages ratings were found to feature violence, gambling and other content that warrants more restrictive ratings on other stores.
In a post on its developer blog, Google said it is evolving its policies to "ensure that apps for children have appropriate content, show suitable ads and handle personally identifiable information correctly." It has also taken steps to "reduce the chance that apps not intended for children could unintentionally attract them."
All developers are now required to complete the new target audience and content section of the Google Play Console, a series of questions that will dictate whether the app is rated for children, children and older users, or older users only.
If apps are targeted at children, they must "follow our strictest Families policies" and ads served in these games must be both appropriate and served by an ads network that has already certified compliance with the Families policy.

Nintendo will halt the service of two mobile games in Belgium amid the unfolding loot box debacle.
Though several months behind, it's now joins Valve, EA, Blizzard, 2K and Square Enix that have been forced to bend the knee to Belgian regulators.
In a statement (via Google translate), Nintendo said it would be taking Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp and Fire Emblem Heroes offline in Belgium "due to the unclear situation... regarding certain in-game revenue models."
From August 27, 2019 it will no longer be possible to play or download the games in Belgium.
Furthermore, any future Nintendo games which employ similar monetisation models will not be released in Belgium.
"We would like to thank all players in Belgium for playing Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp and Fire Emblem Heroes," said Nintendo.
The move comes as a result of the Belgian Gaming Commission (BGC) ruling which found that all loot box mechanics in video games constitute gambling under the current legislation.
Since announcing the decision in Spring last year, the BGC began recommending criminal prosecution for developers which employed the monetisation model.
Although it looked as though some publishers may resist the ruling, there has been a slow trickle of game companies taking similar actions, either halting the sale of loot boxes or the service of the game entirely in Belgium.

DeNA is working on a new mobile game with The Pokémon Company, which will launch before the end of the financial year in March 2020.
The Japanese company revealed no further details of the mobile title, save for the fact that its existing partnership with Nintendo, "was the starting point for this opportunity with The Pokémon Company."
DeNA reiterated to its investors that "we continue to have a strong relationship with Nintendo," and it emphasised the importance of Mario Kart Tour to its performance in the financial year ahead.

The United States Supreme Court has upheld a ruling from a lower court that says people who purchase apps on the App Store can sue Apple for driving up prices and monopolization of the market.
In the class-action Apple vs. Pepper, four iPhone owners sued Apple, saying that the company had monopolized the market for the apps on its store through a combination of its "walled garden" approach to its apps and by charging a 30% revenue share for every sale. That price, they argued, was then passed onto the user who purchases the app as developers are forced to raise their prices to compensate.
The initial ruling on the antitrust suit said that these users were not able to sue Apple for this as they were the customers of developers, not of Apple, and that developers were Apple's customers. However, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned this decision and it was upheld in a 5-4 Supreme Court decision with the majority opinion written by Justice Brett Kavanaugh, joined by Justices Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan.

Microsoft is taking Minecraft for a stroll. The company today announced Minecraft Earth, a free-to-play augmented reality mobile game that appears to take some cues from Niantic's hit Pokémon Go.
Set to enter beta testing this summer, Minecraft Earth will let players build things together like in the original Minecraft and then allow them to place those structures throughout the real world. By exploring their neighborhoods, players will also gather resources for building, discover new things they can use in their creations and battle creatures new and old.

NetEase has signed deals with both Pokémon and Marvel, the former of which will lead to the release of the first official Pokémon mobile game in China.
Both deals were announced at the NetEase Games Annual Product Launch. As reported by Reuters, NetEase will launch a localised version of Pokémon Quest in China, in partnership with Game Freak.
Pokémon Quest, which first launched on mobile in June last year, will be the first mobile game in the iconic series to launch in China. Despite its huge popularity around the world, Niantic's Pokémon Go was not released in the country.
"The Pokémon Quest partnership is a new start and highly anticipated," NetEase VP Ethan Wang said at the event today.
While no release date was offered for Pokémon Go, the other big partnership deal will result in several new games launching this year. With The Avengers: Endgame still riding high at the box-office, NetEase announced a deal with Marvel that will span multiple games based on the company's roster of characters.

Court cases are not speedy things. This week's highly publicised US Supreme Court judgement against Apple is a ruling in a case that was originally filed back in 2011 -- way back when App Stores were still a pretty novel kind of idea -- and it doesn't even mark the end of that case, with the Supreme Court's decision merely clearing the path for the substantive case to be heard.
This case, Apple vs. Pepper, is actually a pretty good example of how the ponderousness of legal processes and the speedy nature of technological development -- always moving fast, always breaking something -- can be seriously mismatched. The original case was arguing that Apple's control of the App Store was monopolistic and being used to drive up the price of software for iPhones, a claim that may still have some legal merit but which looks a little peculiar in an era where the standard price for most smartphone apps has fallen to zero."The case was originally filed back in 2011 -- way back when App Stores were still a pretty novel kind of idea"
Of course, Apple could still lose the broader case (we likely won't know for a couple of years), and if that does happen it would have huge implications across the industry. If Apple, a minority player in the smartphone market, is judged to be a monopoly for running a walled garden App Store, then the knock-on implications for every company with a walled garden digital distribution system would be dramatic -- including, of course, every console platform holder.
However, we're a long way from that point. The courts aren't yet considering any arguments about monopolies or anti-trust, with the rulings made so far being entirely about the plaintiffs' actual right to bring a case against Apple in the first place. Yet even if that aspect is an unintended stop along the way for this legal process, it's also got some boat-rocking implications of its own.
At the heart of this ruling is an argument over whether a system like the App Store is a service provided to developers in order to help them sell directly to consumers (in which case the developer is Apple's customer, and the consumer is the developer's customer), or whether it's actually effectively a retailer (in which case the consumer is Apple's customer). Apple argued that it's the former case; you're a customer of Apple when you buy an iPhone, but when you then buy an app for that iPhone, you're a customer of the app developer, while Apple's role in that second transaction is simply as a service provider to the developer. That's important here because it impacts who has standing; Apple was arguing that consumers couldn't take an anti-trust case against the App Store because they're not customers of the App Store.
