Candy Crush is still a beast, helping King hit a quarterly revenue record

The gaming community may be abuzz about Epic’s Fortnite on mobile, but King’s Candy Crush Saga and Candy Crush Soda Saga continue to satisfy players’ sweet tooth — and parent company Activision Blizzard’s bank account. The company said today in its earnings report that King’s revenue hit its highest mark ever in Q1 of 2018.

Candy Crush Saga was King’s highest earner, with Candy Crush Soda Saga coming in second place. Both are older games — the former launched in 2012 and the latter in 2014 — but their popularity persists. Over all its titles, King attracted 285 million monthly active users, and its players are still reaching for their wallets. In 2017, Candy Crush Saga was the top grossing mobile game in the U.S., according to market analyst Sensor Tower.
