Honkai: Star Rail might’ve left most other anime gacha games in the dust, but Umamusume is catching up in the late August spending race through a big anniversary celebration. This week’s charts cover August 24 to 28 and are based on estimated top-grossing rankings from Sensor Tower and AppMagic. Note that the figures below combine estimates across both Android and iOS.
Umamusume: Pretty Derby performs well this week, taking the 8th spot globally and the number one position on the Japanese chart. Cygames’ hit lite-raising simulator surged back to the top domestically with its massive 5.5th Anniversary celebrations, which kicked off on August 24. On the global side, Trainers gathered once more to compete in the August Libra Cup.
Meanwhile, Honkai: Star Rail accelerated to the top spots across the charts. The game’s revenue revved into high gear thanks to the launch of the ‘Variations on a Cosmic Tour’ Version 4.5 update on August 26, which debuted 5-star Wind Harmony character Robin • Summeretto alongside Hyacine. Though the new party member didn’t generate much pre-launch hype among the fanbase who would rather get skins, the ‘Overdrive: Whirlwind Grand Prix’ racing minigame quickly stole the show and gave the gacha game much-needed fresh content.
Speaking of Trainers, everyone’s favorite monster-catching franchise is running a strong tag-team with Pokémon GO and TCG Pocket. The latter is fueled by the release of a nostalgic, villain-themed ‘Team Rocket’s Ambition’ booster expansion on August 26. For Pokémon GO, this week’s player spending seems to be driven by the PokémonXP & 2026 Worlds GO Pass, boosted event raid passes, as well as new themed Pikachus. What kind of self-respecting Pokémon Master wants to miss out on the cute Cosmog-themed astronaut Pikachu and World Championships 2026 Pikachu, after all?
Here’s how major mobile and gacha games performed across key regions for the last week of August, from the 24th to 28th.
