Now, of course, getting into Cookie Run Kingdom, you have to recognize that as far as the mobile field, it generates a lot of income for the gaming industry. So, of course, when it comes to the top mobile games in the industry, these are also bringing in a crazy amount of revenue to the point where Cookie Run Kingdom back in 2023 of February ended up surpassing 400. million in revenue so as far as it coming out in 2021 February 19th to be exact and then ended up surpassing 400 million just in February 2023 kind of showcases how just one mobile game can generate a disgusting amount of income now with that out the way of course for today's segment we're getting into the highly acclaimed and immensely popular cookie run kingdom as with this particular mobile game, it combines city building with RPG combat, and a lot of players are managing resources, upgrading buildings, and engaging in auto battle combat with teams of five cookies. So with that being said, when you're looking at the developers for this specific video game, which is Dev Sisters out of South Korea.

So as far as Cookie Run Kingdom, it's developed by Dev sisters out of South Korea. And of course, the platforms are Android, iOS, and Google Play games. It came out for PC July 2023. So currently speaking, as of today, it is the third most play mobile game in the world. So it's already still a classic in the eyes of mobile gamers as coming. out in 2021 and then to follow that up as far as with the longevity in 2025 and still you're one of the top mobile games in the world and of course as of right now it's the third most play game in the world and of course when you get into a lot of different reviews for cookie run kingdom IG and gave

this an eight out of 10 talking about a lot of the characters in the game and the gameplay but this is a mobile game so you have to keep in mind that monetization is a factor in every single mobile game because majority of these mobile games are free. So to make the money back, that's where the micro transactions came in to play, which is why it's so egregious for console players to accept these type of micro transactions because we're out here playing $70 to play a video game as far as when they initially launched. Of course, it could go on sale and go down to $30 or $40. dollars but for the most part console players when it comes to micro transactions it shouldn't be as

common as it is but for mobile gaming i think it makes sense because of course it's a free game that you play in your device and everybody has the device with them at all time so interestingly enough you can end up playing more mobile you could be a mobile gamer more than you are a console gamer just because of accessibility and it's a free game as far as uh cookie run kingdom so With the microtransactions, that's not much of a negative side to me because, of course, it's a mobile game. Now, of course, when it comes to a lot of the highlights, it's inspired by mythology. And of course, the extensive voice acting enhances the storytelling.

And then when it comes to a lot of the community engagement, deaf sisters is very active and proactive as far as making sure that their fan base is heard and that their supporters are taken care of. as there were codes that came out in February 2020 well this month so this so this month codes came out and as far as a particular codes and how to redeem you have to you have to visit the official website enter dev play ID and put a valid code and then claim rewards now of course I will put the codes up on the screen but y'all not about to put in the comments section hey man I tried your code and guess what it didn't work because you know somebody else probably used it by the time I put up this video so all I'm gonna tell you is They have February codes out there. I would just probably look up cookie run kingdom February 2025 codes and a lot of websites are putting up like different codes and they're like

Refreshing it every time they they're all the codes are used so You know what would they say in the Hunger Games they may the odds be forever in your favor so but that being said with this game being primarily an RPG combat type of game there's a lot of different mechanics that a lot of people point out and some of the drama of this video game because of course you know we got again a drama so some of the drama for this game is the costume gotcha system which they say uses rainbow cubes for cosmetic outfits another one of the negative expressions from the supporters basically they said the player uh rngy can lead to duplicate draws with some feeling unlucky which

you know rngy is always a very frustrating especially if you're getting the short end of a stick and then of course at the end of the day a lot of people want you know certain game balances and things that nature and that's more of the norm for every video game so with this very popular RPG mobile game you kind of have to realize that the way that they got here It was not more of a decade-long grind process. Like, I'm not going to say out the gate, but essentially out the gate. When Cookie Run Kingdom was released January 2021, basically it made a lot of money to the point where they earned over $100 million in user spending with South Korea being the strongest market, of course, followed by Taiwan, Thailand, Japan, and the USA. say and this is in 2021.

Fast forward into 2022 and, no, no, fast forward to February, 2023 and of course, like I said earlier in this segment, this game surpassed 400 million. So that revenue was generated solely.

No, no, that was like in totality. So by February, 2023, they overall made 400 million in revenue since its launch, indicating, of course, the strong player base and the consistency

of keeping their players engaged. Now, of course, between the years of 2023 and 2024, the estimated revenue generated for Cookie Run Kingdom has reached around $500 million by January of last year. And of course, since it's 2025, we will have to assume that at this pace, there's estimates around $2 million as far as of right now and daily active players averaging around $603,000.

And at first glance, you're probably like, that's an insane player count as far as active or daily active players. Well, usually everybody kind of like what I was saying earlier in the segment, a lot of people have their mobile devices with them at all times, right? Some of the highest games on Steam to like put it in comparison. Cookie Run Kingdom currently in 2025 as of today, they average around 6003,000 daily active users users now games i can compare that to is of course dota 2 and counter strike 2 where dota 2 averages around 500 and 88 000 as far as the 24-hour peak and of course counter strike 2 averages 1.5

million yeah we shouldn't compare any game to counter strike 2 as of right now so that's not even a good comparison let's go to uh pub g battlegrounds which is the third most play game on steam and that averages around 767 000 in the 24 hour peak so just to put in perspective the cookie run kingdom is competing with some of the most play games on PC I would assume the console numbers are lower they don't give us actual data analytics for the um xbox and PlayStation unless you're like a developing studio so with that being said I would just have to assume that cookie run kingdom is competing with some of the most popular games even on PC and console not only is a popular mobile but it's putting up daily active user numbers comparable to every to the most popular game in general. So just to let you know the mobile market is very very lucrative and of course dev sisters found that out with their hit Cookie Run Kingdom. Now I'm trying to see if I had it. I think that was basically it. So overall as far as my personal take on this game as far as from all the sentiments from the player base and from gaming publications and of course

watching the game for myself, I would say that I mean, you should at least try it, especially if you like city building with RPG combat. I think this game is like perfect for you.

And at the end of the day, if you're a mobile gamer, what is your favorite mobile game of all time?
