Delta Force experienced a notable decline in mobile revenue during October 2026. According to analytics firm AppMagic, the game generated an estimated $23.5 million in in-app purchase revenue, compared with $38.2 million in September. This represents a 39% month-over-month decrease.

The decline also affected its position among the highest-earning mobile games. After appearing in the top 15 during September, Delta Force fell to 17th place in October, moving outside the ranking’s leading group.

AppMagic highlighted the game’s second anniversary in September as an important factor when comparing the two months. However, the available figures do not establish a specific reason for the revenue decline.

While Delta Force lost ground, several competitors performed strongly during October. Honor of Kings remained at the top of AppMagic’s revenue rankings with $104.4 million, becoming the only mobile game to surpass $100 million in estimated in-app purchase revenue that month.

Roblox secured second place with $92.2 million, recording a 3% increase from September. Gossip Harbor also improved its performance, generating $74 million and climbing to third place after a 6% monthly increase.

The October rankings also showed that revenue declines were not limited to Delta Force. Pokémon GO experienced an even larger 54% decrease, falling from $51.9 million to $23.8 million. It dropped from eighth to 15th place, recording the steepest decline among the top 15 games.

AppMagic’s figures provide a snapshot of the competitive mobile gaming market, where major releases can experience considerable monthly changes in player spending.

The estimates represent in-app purchase revenue after store commissions and taxes. They do not include advertising revenue or earnings from third-party Android stores in China.
