The first anniversary of the recent launch of the new Kingshot under the flag of point-of-act interaction has exceeded $800 million in total global player spending. Kingshot is a century-old background-placed strategic hand-show, and core play integrates the elements of tower defence, resource management and master governance. Players will play the leading role in the game, leading the people of the town against invasion, allocating manpower, making laws, competing for resources and kingships, and forming alliances and recruiting heroes for the reconstruction of civilization.
Kingshot came online on 22 February 2025. According to AppMagic estimates, the first year on the line was a combined account of $811.9 million at Google Play and App Store. Actual income may be higher if it is included in the flow of web-based stores. As one of the most successful hand-to-hand novels in 2025, Kingshot received more than the well-known new IP adaptations such as SD-G Generations of Endurance, and beyond the heavy-pound newer Delta Operation. The first year on Kingshot has seen a significant increase in revenue, from $5.9 million in March 2025 to a peak of $102.2 million in January 2026, an increase of more than 16 times. The United States is the largest market, with a cumulative share of 43 per cent in Google and Apple stores, well above South Korea (8 per cent) and Japan (7 per cent) in the second and third markets. Over the past year, the game has demonstrated an extraordinary gold-absorption capacity, with a monthly income growth of November in 2025 and a peak in monthly and daily player spending in January 2026, with a single-day collection of $4.6 million on 30 January alone. Since 15 May last year, its single-day battalion has never received less than $1 million.
However, in February this year, for the first time, its monthly income declined to $93 million and the ring ceiling fell by 9 per cent, the lowest level since last September. There were events such as the festivities of the celebratory and the venom offerings at the point of the month, but they were also controversial because the players questioned the existence of robotic brushes in the game, as well as the announcement of an indefinite retreat by high-powered players.
Despite the controversy and the decline in revenue, Kingshot was among the top 10 in February 2026 for global mobile games, ahead of such games as Bogo and Coin Master. Its Discord channel members surpassed 500,000 last March.
