Weekly Ranking Report — 2026-W35

The South Korea App Store Top Grossing chart saw significant movement during week 2026-W35. A total of 81 games experienced ranking changes, with 17 new entries breaking into the chart and 17 titles dropping out of the tracked positions. The competitive landscape continues to evolve rapidly, reflecting shifts in user acquisition strategies and live-operations events.

The standout performer of the week was 삼국지: 천하결전 by BILIBILI HK LIMITED, which surged 33 positions from #53 to #20 in the Top Grossing chart. This dramatic ascent is typically indicative of a major content update, a seasonal promotional event, or a well-executed user acquisition campaign that drove a spike in in-app purchase activity.

On the downside, ONE PIECE TREASURE CRUISE experienced the largest decline, falling 47 spots from #36 to #83. Such drops can signal the natural decay following a temporary event boost, increased competition from rival titles, or a shift in user spending patterns. It is important to note that a ranking drop does not always imply absolute revenue decline — other titles may have simply outperformed during this period.

The top three grossing positions are currently held by 제우스: 오만의 신 (#1), 운빨존많겜 (#2), and 쿠키런 키우기 - 쿠키런: 크럼블 (#3). 제우스: 오만의 신 claimed the #1 spot this week, demonstrating strong revenue performance. The estimated monthly revenue for the #1 position in the South Korea App Store is approximately $8.1M.

Notable new entries this week include 제우스: 오만의 신 (entering at #1), 뚜까펫: 서바이벌 (entering at #19), 전략적 팀 전투: 리그 오브 레전드 전략 게임 (entering at #30). Fresh entries into the Top Grossing chart often indicate successful launch campaigns, viral social media attention, or cross-promotion from established IP franchises. Tracking whether these new entrants sustain their positions in subsequent weeks provides valuable insight into their long-term revenue potential.

The South Korea mobile gaming market remains one of the most competitive segments globally. With 100 titles actively tracked in the Top Grossing chart, the barrier to entry continues to be high for new developers. Consistent monitoring of weekly ranking shifts enables data-driven decisions for user acquisition budgets, content scheduling, and competitive benchmarking.
