. According to foreign media reports, market research firm App Annie said that in the second quarter of this year, China's iOS game revenue reached a new milestone, surpassing the United States to become the country with the highest iOS game revenue in the world.

The mobile gaming industry reaches US$36 billion. Now, the landscape of the mobile gaming industry is changing. App Annie said that local mobile games in China, such as "Fantasy Westward Journey","Westward Journey" and "League of Legends", have driven the growth of overall mobile game revenue. At the same time, foreign games, such as Clash Royale, which ranks 10th in China, have a relatively small boost to mobile game revenue.

The rapid growth of China's iOS game business may make Western game developers uneasy. The revenue growth of Western game developers in China is very slow because there are too many differences between Chinese and Western cultures, making it difficult for the content they develop to succeed. Moreover, China is preparing to start strictly reviewing every game launched on the market, which is also detrimental to the development of Western games. App Annie said that if Western game developers want to succeed in China, they must cooperate with China companies.

App Annie predicted last quarter that China's iOS game revenue may soon surpass that of the United States. In the second quarter, China's iOS game revenue almost doubled from the second quarter of 2015. From the second quarter of 2015 to the second quarter of 2016, among global iOS revenue, games were the source of iOS revenue with the largest increase in market share. Globally, games account for almost 75% of all iOS revenue.

Overall, China, the United States and Japan account for 75% of all iOS game revenue.
