Supercell's Squad Busters: A Solid Start, But Falling Short of Expectations

Supercell's latest mobile game, Squad Busters, a MOBA RTS hybrid, has achieved 40 million installs and $24 million in net revenue within its first month. Its popularity is particularly strong in the US, followed by Indonesia, Brazil, Turkey, and South Korea.

However, these figures, while respectable, fall significantly short of Supercell's previous successes. Revenue is considerably lower than Brawl Stars' $43 million and Clash Royale's $115 million in their respective first months. Furthermore, Squad Busters' install numbers have declined sharply after a strong initial week, indicating a potential loss of momentum.

Supercell Fatigue?

The diminishing returns for Squad Busters raise questions about potential market saturation with Supercell's game style. This is particularly striking when compared to other successful mobile titles, such as Honkai Star Rail, which generated $190 million in its first month. While Squad Busters is a well-made game, its similarity to Supercell's existing portfolio might contribute to player fatigue. Only time will tell if the game can overcome this hurdle and achieve sustained success.
