根据Unity发布的2025年移动游戏趋势报告,2024年移动游戏消费者收入突破800亿美元,同比增长4%,但应用安装量首次超过游戏。报告提出六大趋势:
奖励广告市场将从游戏领域扩展至非游戏APP和网页,主要玩家将巩固地位并优化产品,但增速可能放缓。
订阅制APP因市场饱和和用户价格敏感度,将更多采用广告变现模式,结合混合变现和免费增值模式以保障可持续增长,同时需平衡用户体验和数据保护。
中端市场游戏(介于AAA和独立游戏之间)在2024年复苏,小型工作室专注精致、短流程体验,2025年将迎来更多高质量作品。
混合休闲游戏(如解谜、模拟、动作)将主导移动广告投放,广告主增加激励视频(RV)使用,提升广告创意时长和互动性,实现规模化用户获取。
APAC(中国、日本、韩国)开发者凭借创新玩法和AI驱动体验,持续扩大全球市场份额,2025年将进一步影响全球游戏格局。
长篇可玩广告(如30-60秒视频或1-2分钟交互试玩)在解谜类游戏中被证明能提升用户参与度和转化率,AI将辅助生成多样化创意以保持长期吸引力。

Puzzle and match 3 games remain a profitable segment, with 9.7 billion downloads in 2024 and 14% YoY IAP revenue growth. Key opportunities lie in LATAM and MENA, where session growth is high. Rising CPI and CPM emphasize the need for efficient UA. Incrementality testing and predictive LTV are critical for optimizing ad spend, ensuring budgets target high-value users. Adjust's tools—Measure, InSight, and Recommend—provide attribution, incrementality testing, and pLTV modeling to maximize ROI.
2024 mobile gaming revenue reached $80B on App Store & Google Play (+4% YoY), with casual, casino, and strategy genres showing double-digit growth. Key 2025 trends include user-level monetization customization, IP-driven games reducing CAC, AI-powered personalized gameplay, programmatic CTV maturing with greater accountability, and puzzle game dominance in markets like Vietnam. Decision-makers should focus on live-title optimization, genre expertise, and cross-platform programmatic strategies.
Scaling a gaming app to 1 million users requires AI-driven user acquisition with personalized creatives and playable ads, cross-platform storytelling, and influencer collaborations. Retention relies on adaptive content, community building, localization, and deep linking for seamless re-engagement. Hybrid monetization combining IAP, subscriptions, and ads with dynamic pricing optimizes revenue. Advanced analytics and predictive insights enable real-time campaign optimization. Decision-makers should prioritize AI and machine learning for UA and retention, implement deep linking for frictionless user journeys, and leverage data-driven monetization strategies to sustainably scale and retain a large player base.
Ultra casual games are emerging as a dominant force in mobile gaming, offering simple, satisfying gameplay and ad-based monetization. They generate significant revenue through high-volume ad impressions, rewarded video, and interstitial ads, with some titles earning $50k-$70k daily. Vietnamese studios lead the market due to cost-effective development and data-driven optimization. For ad ops decision-makers, the key takeaway is the potential for high-reach, low-CPM campaigns in markets like Vietnam, aided by MMPs for accurate attribution.
To reduce app uninstalls, focus on user-centric onboarding, consistent value delivery, and optimized performance. Personalize engagement through behavior-based push notifications and in-app experiences. Use proactive communication to re-engage dormant users, and leverage social proof to build trust. Avoid app fatigue by balancing communication frequency. Analyze uninstall data to identify churn patterns, encourage habit formation with streaks or daily rewards, and reward loyal users with exclusive perks. These strategies, supported by MMP analytics, help create an app experience users want to keep.

High engagement windows occur post-Iftar and late at night. Actionable strategies include optimizing campaign timing, leveraging personalization, building omnichannel experiences, and focusing on value-driven promotions. Adjust's measurement tools can help track and optimize campaign performance.

Generative AI is already benefiting creative production and optimization. iOS re-engagement remains underleveraged, and most marketers are still adapting to SKAN. Budgets are increasing, with a focus on ad networks and self-attributing networks.
