It's almost 2026 and it's been a massive year for mobile esports. Some particular titles saw crazy success, including Call of Duty: Mobile, Free Fire, and PUBG Mobile. 

Recently, Gaming on Phone shared the astonishing revenue of the top mobile shooter games throughout 2025. According to Gaming on Phone, these numbers include each game's regional variants if applicable. 

Here are the top mobile shooters of 2025. 

Top mobile FPS esports of 2025 by revenue

There are many ways to determine an esport scene's success, including viewership, revenue, attendance, playerbase, and more. But today, we're going to strictly look at revenue. 

By looking at how much money a game earned, we can determine they have a pretty massive playerbase and following. That translates to a more promising esports scene in many cases, as seen by PUBG Mobile's extreme growth (including city-wide celebrations surrounding the Global Championship). 

Check out these insane numbers: 

  • Game For Peace: $801M
  • Free Fire: $358M
  • Delta Force: $357.5M
  • PUBG Mobile: $355M
  • Call of Duty: Mobile: $274.7M
  • CrossFire legends: $272.5M
  • Knives Out: $97.4M
  • VALORANT Mobile: $73.4M
  • Arena Blackout: $58.6M
  • War Robots: $56.5M
  • Hunting Sniper: $47.5M
  • Battlegrounds Mobile India: $27.5M
  • World of Tanks Blitz: $26.1M
  • War Machine: $23.7M
  • Mech Arena: $22M
  • Standoff 2: $18.4M 
  • Blood Strike: $17.1M
  • Fortnite Mobile: $13.2M
  • Destiny Rising: $12.9M

Game For Peace earns $801M in 2025

The clear winner in terms of revenue is Game For Peace, Tencent's Asian version of PUBG Mobile. The game has been massive with China especially, where PUBG Mobile is banned. It actually has even more players than PUBG Mobile, with 50 million daily players versus PUBG's 30 million. 

PUBG Mobile earns $355M in 2025

Still, PUBG Mobile was a huge game in 2025, earning $355 million in revenue. While the game is huge, its esports scene really helps drive home its appeal all over the world.

As previously stated, PUBG Mobile's Global Championship was a huge celebration for fans. Going into 2027, the PUBG Mobile esports scene is growing even larger, with a packed schedule and $7 million on the line. 

Call of Duty: Mobile earns $274.7M in 2025

Another big mobile esport of 2025 was Call of Duty: Mobile. The scene has seen huge growth in viewership and players are beyond excited about the game's future as Activision reveals big changes for Call of Duty's future releases. 

VALORANT Mobile earns $73.4M in 2025

One interesting game on the list is VALORANT Mobile. It's currently only available in China, which shows how popular the game is already. Raising over $73 million in just one country in the span of a year is wild. 

The rest of the world has been clamoring for a chance to try out the game, but there is no set release date. Meanwhile, Riot has been testing out its esports potential in China with great results. 

Fortnite Mobile earns $13.2M in 2025

I also wanted to point out Fortnite Mobile's healthy revenue. This is despite Epic's ongoing legal battles with Apple and Google, resulting in the game not being on a lot of phones throughout 2025. As of now, the game is still delayed from returning to iPhones in Japan. Despite these setbacks, it's clear gamers are clamoring to play Fortnite Mobile with revenue like this.
