Genres
NEW YORK, NY -(Marketwired - November 29, 2016)
- When
it comes to mobile games, SPYR, Inc.'s
(OTCQB: SPYR) flagship MMO game, Pocket Starships, falls into
all the right categories for revenue growth. Because Pocket
Starships is one of the only true cross-platform, real-time games
of its kind on the market, it is available to gamers on a wide
range of platforms and devices, including iOS, Android, tablets,
PCs, Macs, Kindles, Amazon and Facebook. Today, we will focus
solely on the revenue generated from mobile devices in the games
industry. According to a report from SurveyMonkey
Intelligence, games that are published in the strategy,
role-playing, adventure and action genres are leading the way in
the amount of monthly revenue they generate for mobile publishers.
The strategy and role-playing genres alone make up more than 30
percent of the U.S. mobile game market's total
revenue. According to the same report, strategy games
drive $194 million in revenues each month on mobile devices while
role-playing games generate $162 million, adventure games generate
$114 million and action games produce $98 million in monthly
revenues. Pocket Starships is currently being marketed
worldwide, and the game, which is both a Battle Arena Role-Playing
Game and a real-time Strategy Space Combat Game, is seeing a rise
in overall downloads in several markets specifically targeted by
the company. SPYR received good news from the Apple App Store in
Germany, Russia and France, where it is implementing a strategic
push to introduce the game to the European gaming market. Between
the three countries there are almost 150 million
gamers. The
"overall downloads" (#23 Germany, #5 Russia, #16 France) are
receiving high rankings, and as we drill down on specific genres in
those countries, Pocket Starships has ranked at or near the top in
both the "adventure" (#3 Germany, #1 Russia, #1 France) and
"action" (#10 Germany, #2 Russia, #8 France) categories as
well. Mike
Turner, SPYR's VP of Strategic Partnerships, said, "This European
push - especially with the recent success in Russia - has confirmed
our belief that there truly is a vibrant, lucrative international
market for Pocket Starships that we need to be leveraging in order
to drive participation and purchase within our
game."
Mike Sonders, a writer at SurveyMonkey Intelligence, believes the
success of strategy and role-playing games is rooted in their
ability to monetize their active players at high rates. And, the
fact that 62% of smartphone owners install mobile games within the
first week of getting their device, which is more than any other
type of app, lends even more evidence to the explosion in
popularity of mobile games. About Stock Market Media
