Tencent therefore won the video game round of bil 25 billion (174 billion yuan) in 2021, once again surpassing its performance in 2020 (21.6 billion euros). The biggest breakthrough ever in the history of the industry, with its biggest players in 2021 being the PlayStation (22.6 billion euros), Xbox (14.8 billion euros) and Nintendo (13.9 billion euros). Tencent Games is also ahead of NetEase Games, the closest competition to China (12.3 billion euros).

As a result, the cost of players under the current age represents only 1.5% of the total revenue from Tencent Games in China. At the venue, Honor of Kings remains the historical masterpiece, but Tencent is also referring to League of Legends: Wild Rift and the recent Golden Spatula, a local re-reading of Team Strategies.
“In Global Mobile Games, we have produced 5 of the top 10 headlines to measure the number of active daily users.

Clash Royale has released one of the biggest updates in its history, increasing the number of active daily users and total revenue.
