Century Games' Kingshot Crosses $100 Million in Just 117 Days

• Kingshot surpassed $100 million in revenue within 117 days, making it one of 2025’s fastest-growing mobile games.

• The game blends idle mechanics, 4X strategy, and gacha systems, attracting both casual and core mobile gamers.

• June 2025 became Kingshot’s best month yet, generating $40.3 million outpacing even May’s impressive $37.7 million.

Century Games has reached another major milestone in the mobile games market. Its latest title, Kingshot, has surpassed $100 million in revenue just 117 days after launch, placing it among the fastest-growing mobile titles of the year. 

Kingshot combines idle mechanics with 4X strategy and survival elements set in a medieval world, appealing to both casual players and core gamers. Notably, the game features gacha mechanics around its playable characters.

With $40.3 million as of 23rd, even with a week to spare, June 2025 stands out to be Kingshot’s most lucrative month since its release. For comparison, the game generated $37.7 million in May.

Hitting the $100 million mark in under four months suggests a strong early conversion rate and effective monetization design, particularly around in-app purchases. While Century hasn’t disclosed region-specific breakdowns, the rapid revenue accumulation points to early strength in high-spending markets like the U.S., Japan, and the Middle East. 

This pace points to a sharper launch curve than the company’s previous breakout hit, Whiteout Survival, which followed a more measured growth trajectory. Released in February 2023, Whiteout reached $500 million within its first year and has since gone on to surpass $2 billion in lifetime revenue. However, it took over a year to achieve the kind of monthly performance that Kingshot appears to be targeting from day one.

Century Games has leaned into learnings from Whiteout Survival’s lifecycle. That title gradually scaled into one of the most consistent revenue generators in the mobile space, with monthly peaks exceeding $140 million by early 2025. Much of that came from robust LiveOps execution, long-term player retention, and regional event localization. Tools like ThinkingData played a key role, enabling Century to adjust monetization and engagement tactics on a per-market basis.

With Kingshot, the company seems to have compressed that entire model into a much shorter window. The launch featured a wide geographic rollout, including Century’s first multi-platform launch in Saudi Arabia, alongside a strong marketing push and tightly designed in-game purchasing incentives.

The question now is whether Kingshot can sustain its early momentum. Century Games has demonstrated that it can build and scale games for the long term, but the next phase will test Kingshot’s ability to retain users and extend engagement beyond early adopters. Success here will depend on continued content updates, well-timed monetization events, and a balanced approach to user acquisition spend.

Still, the $100 million benchmark reached in just 117 days is a strong indicator that Century’s operational playbook is continuing to deliver.
