The days of playing microscopic versions of Tetris<\/em> and Pac-Man<\/em> on one’s flip-phone are long gone, as mobile gaming has created a league of its own, sometimes even competing with console and PC gaming. Some of the industry’s most popular games like\u00a0Genshin Impact<\/em><\/a> and\u00a0Fortnite<\/em> eventually found their way over to mobile devices, and mobile hits like\u00a0Pokemon GO<\/em> and\u00a0Clash of Clans<\/em> have solidified the platform’s space in the industry.<\/p>\n

While\u00a0much of the discourse surrounding mobile gaming today focuses on Epic Games’ legal battle with Apple,<\/a> something that may have slipped past most mobile gamers is that the file sizes of mobile\u00a0games have increased exponentially in recent years. Data recently released by mobile analyst Sensor Tower has shown significant file size increases for the top 100 most popular iOS\u00a0games since 2016.<\/p>\n

According to Sensor Tower’s data, iOS<\/a> games\u00a0have seen a 76% increase in file size when compared to 5 years ago. Additionally, iOS games have experienced an average 30.3% increase in file size in just the past year, as shown below. By far, the mobile game with the biggest change in file size from 2019 to 2020\u00a0was the DoubleDown<\/em> casino slots game, with a 106.9% increase.\u00a0Fortnite<\/em> also experienced a significant file size increase, despite no longer being available on the iOS App Store at the moment.<\/p>\n

Of course, this all goes without saying that the storage capabilities of iOS devices, and mobile devices in general, has greatly increased in recent years. For example, 2016’s iPhone 7 could be purchased with a size of 32GB, which is no longer an option with\u00a0last year’s iPhone 12, which comes with a\u00a0baseline storage size of 64GB.<\/p>\n

According to Sensor Tower, the\u00a0average mobile game was about 264 megabytes in 2016, while it is around\u00a0465 megabytes in 2020. Roblox<\/em> has been all the rage<\/a> among young gamers recently, making it the top-grossing game on the iOS App Store last year. The popular game creation platform\u00a0saw a 20% increase in file size in just the past year alone, and a 73% increase since 2016.<\/p>\n

Sensor Tower also revealed that overall, the game with the largest file size increase since 2016 was Zynga and NaturalMotion’s\u00a0CSR Racing 2<\/em>, which jumped 123.3% since 2016 to a whopping 3.8 gigabytes. Additionally, Supercell’s\u00a0massively popular\u00a0Clash of Clans<\/em><\/a> saw a 36.5% increase in file size just\u00a0from 2019 to 2020.<\/p>\n

Just the other day, Amazon launched\u00a0its GameOn\u00a0platform<\/a> on iOS, combining elements of Twitch and TikTok focused on capturing, editing, and sharing mobile gaming content.\u00a0Now, as AAA experiences like\u00a0PUBG Mobile<\/em>,\u00a0Genshin Impact<\/em>, and\u00a0Call of Duty: Mobile<\/em> have become mainstays in the mobile gaming industry, it will be interesting to see\u00a0how the landscape of the platform changes in the future.<\/p>\n
