The team of the online application store RuStore for the Android operating system, the domestic analogue of Google Play, shared development statistics. The average bill for games in the first quarter of 2024 increased by 3.2 times compared to the same period in 2023. Rustore Product Director Oleg Afanasyev spoke about this at the RIF-2024 forum.
Afanasyev told reporters:
For the first quarter of 2024, the average spend on games in Rustore was 650 rubles. Compared to last year, the figure increased by 3.2 times.
The most popular game genres turned out to be action, strategy and adventure. Afanasyev added:
More than 6 games from the top 10 most paid in Rustore were developed by Chinese companies. Among them are the titles War and Magic: Kingdom Reborn, "Era of Goddesses: Fallen Angels", "Great Sultan" and Forge Shop.
Recall that RuStore was created by the VK company (formerly Mail.ru Group) under the patronage of the Ministry of Digital Development. This application directory became available in May 2022. At the beginning of February 2023, RuStore left the beta testing stage. Since its launch, the monthly audience of RuStore in Russia has exceeded 30 million people, and the number of available applications — 37 thousand.
