Knives Out battle royale surpass Fortnite and PUBG Mobile. Find out how - Ultimate Guide

Incredibly, it is not Fornite nor PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) Mobile, two of the most successful games of recent times who can also be named as the most successful Battle Royal for mobile in 2018, that title was reserved for Knives Out.

The company China NetEase with its title Knives Out was placed in the position of honor by the latest commercial survey of Sensor Tower, specifically in the studies of the gains from the battle royale genre in mobile phones and these resulted in that thanks to the success of the game in the Asian area especially among the Japanese public was the highest income obtained in 2018 over global super success as Fornite.

Knives Out raised the approximate amount of 465 million dollars worldwide last year and of this figure 80% come from Japan. In this country the players managed to spend 370 million dollars in the game, which represents 11 times more than what PUBG Mobile won. And China billed 18% of total profits, demonstrating in net terms the popularity of the game in the Asian area.

And you will surely ask yourself what this phenomenon is due to taking into account the worldwide success that Fornite has had. Why has not Fortnite made a better impression in these markets? Well, the explanation is political and legal because the regulations prevent players from making purchases directly through the game, and as you probably know, the launch of Fortnite on mobile phones has been thorough and gradual. Knives Out, meanwhile, did not put restrictions on iOS and Android users who wanted to download it and this became a competitive advantage that left relegated to others.

Not everything is rosy for Knives Out because among its critics is the criticism that it is widely considered a clone of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) Mobile and others comment that this success is really because China has the largest market for games mobile phones in the industry and continues to obtain significant amounts, partly due to the large population of the country and its easy access to cell phones and also that Android statistics were not taken into account at the time of this report, so it is It is likely that Fortnite has still overtaken Knives Out.

Even with these doubts that come to light it is surprising that a game considered as a copy can generate such high income. And to these doubts you can add that the Android statistics for Fortnite are not available because the studio Epic Games decides not to take into account their Google Play Store statistics and chooses to make their winnings a secret, although others point to that this secrecy would only be a consequence of that they really could not overcome knives Out in sales and prefer not to show up in this regard to not give some kind of advertising bounce that further benefits their competitor.
