AppMagic Reveals The Top 10 Hypercasual Games in Q3 2023

Mobile analyst website AppMagic has listed the 10 most popular hypercasual mobile games of the third quarter (Q3) of 2023, as well as examining the trend and market dynamics in mobile gaming.

In researching the popular hypercasual games of Q3 2023 from July to the end of September, AppMagic is joined by Anatoly Maximov, a hypercasual games expert with more than 10 years of experience, and Oleg Rakitskiy, Business Development Producer of Playducky.

As revealed, a select few hypercasual titles have remained within the Top 10 most downloaded for Q3 2023, including Bridge Race, Going Balls, Burger Please!, and Tomb of the Mask.

AppMagic noted that even though Tomb of the Mask still remained in the Top 10, its download has gone down by 14%, while Burger Please! has a 13% increase in its download count.

This quarter also did not see many newcomers to the list, however, My Perfect Hotel by developer SayGames topped the chart with approximately 28 million downloads.

It was highlighted that My Perfect Hotel was released back in April 2022 and had fluctuating monthly installs between 2 million to 5 million until SayGames updated the game in July 2023.

This led to My Perfect Hotel skyrocketing its metric to 13 million monthly downloads, likely due to the game’s improvement receiving positive responses from players.

Conclusion

In AppMagic’s conclusion, they described that they are surprised there are no games in the Top 10 inspired by social media trends, but are not doubting that clones of popular games remained trending as usual.

The mobile analyst website has also consulted Azur Games for insights, and its co-founder Dmitry Yaminsky said that “it has indeed become more challenging to put out a hit game.”

“Nowadays, any prototype demands significantly more resources to develop compared to a few years ago.”

“The likelihood of them going on to rank high is diminishing rapidly, and not just due to increased competition but also because the established hits are clinging to their positions with mighty effort.”

“That is why working on improvements to already successful projects and finding their growth points seems like a very workable strategy in the current market.”
