- New social media apps BeReal and LiveIn are changing the social genre landscape, catapulting to #1 by breakout MAU in the US, Australia, and the UK and #1 by breakout downloads and #2 by breakout MAUs, respectively. India’s online shopping site, Meesho, jumps into the top 10, reflecting the rise of the country’s mobile commerce sector.
- With its official launch in June 2022, Diablo Immortal by Activision Blizzard topped the charts for growth in spending, downloads, and active users and ranked in the top 10 breakout games by consumer spend in 9 key markets.
