No other mobile game has done this so quickly in the age of Clash of Clans, Game of War: Fire Age, and Candy Crush Saga. A brand new game, Supercell’s Clash Royale fortress-battle title, has become No. 1 in the U.S. — not only on the top downloads chart but also on the top-grossing list on the iOS App Store.

That is no small accomplishment in the $34.8 billion mobile-game industry, considering that Clash of Clans alone generated well over $1 billion last year in revenues. That means that Supercell’s Clash of Clans is generating multiple millions of dollars a day in revenues, and now Clash Royale is beating that.
