6 MMOs Made Over $1B Last Year

Six online video games made over $1b in 2016 compared to only 3 movies that hit that same target. Video games are big business, much bigger business than movies. Surprisingly, not a single console game made this list only PC and mobile online games did:

Every video game on the list is free to play which demonstrates the earnings potential of the business model. While Clash Royale is new to the top earners list, the rest of these games have made the list last year as well. I suspect we'll see even more MMOs making over $1b next year with more and more top quality mobile games launching (King of Glory from Tencent already has over 50M daily active users).
