How we build this chart
Every week we save Apple’s public App Store charts for China: the top 100 free and top 100 grossing games on iPhone (category Games). We add the official English title where a game has one, and the company behind the publisher that the App Store lists; subsidiaries such as Shenzhen Tencent Tianyou are shown as Tencent. Where we could not confirm an English title, the game is listed by its Chinese name only. Apple does not publish download or revenue numbers with its charts, so we show ranks, not figures. For the bigger picture on gaming in China, see the most popular games in China.
More on games in China
Questions readers ask
What is the most popular mobile game in China right now?
Honor of Kings (王者荣耀, Tencent). On 1 November 2026 it was number 1 on the App Store China top grossing games chart and also number 1 on the top free chart.
Who makes the most popular games in China?
Tencent, by a wide margin: it published 5 of the top 10 and 16 of the top 50 highest-grossing iPhone games in China on 1 November 2026. NetEase is second with 9 of the top 50. Others in the top 50 include Tuyoo, Lingxi Games (Alibaba), Hypergryph, Century Huatong.
What is the difference between the top free and top grossing charts?
Top free ranks free games by recent downloads, so new releases and casual games jump in fast. Top grossing ranks games by the money players spend inside them, which favours long-running hits with big, paying communities. A game near the top of both, like the ones in the table below, is both widely downloaded and earning well.
Do these charts include Android?
No. These are Apple’s App Store charts for iPhone in mainland China. Most Chinese players use Android phones, but Android in China is split across many app stores (Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO, vivo, Tencent’s own store, TapTap and others), with no single national chart. The App Store chart is the one consistent, public national ranking.
How often is this page updated?
Every week. We save a snapshot of Apple’s top 100 free and top 100 grossing iPhone games in China and show the change since the previous week. This edition is from 1 November 2026 and is our first, so week-on-week changes start next week.
