Pocket Gamer

We're going to break that down.

Time to look at the top 10 mobile publishers and compare PocketGamer.biz's chart with CensorTower.com. Shockingly, they are very different, and so if you're listening, start taking bets on number one.

The top ones are different, but let's see if you can get there.

Xbox continues to make news, so we'll cover it at the end.

Hello, welcome back to the Pocket Gamer Podcast with me, Euan.

I'm one of the staff writers on the site.

I'm joined by Catherine.

Hello.

And that's because it is a very special episode.

It is episode 100 of the Pocket Gamer Podcast, or at the very least, our rebooted version.

We did it.

We made it.

Yeah, it's basically saying the same thing.

This is also on pocketgamer.biz. It's just talking about how Sega is going to put their entire catalog together on your iPhone, Android, whatever.

But the problem is, is they're not putting them all under one app.

They're all separate apps, which isn't a problem because you can put everything into a folder.

I'm prepared.

The thing I think I love most about collabs, first of all, if I'm not mistaken, I believe the mobile realm, the mobile market, does more collabs than any other market.

realm of media in the world.

And I think the thing I love most about these collabs is that they either are so sensible, as in they make so much sense, it's like, oh yeah, why didn't you do this years ago? Or they make absolutely no sense and you're just trying to figure out why these collabs would happen.

And the two ones that I would like to talk about, which Cat has generously donated, are literally the two defining ends of this spectrum that I just outlaid for you.

First, let's talk about the sensible one.

So it could be anything or anyone.

So I guess my question for you guys is...

Smash Fest developer Flow Games has landed $46 million, mostly from Tencent.

That is a story published by pocketgamer.biz. Spill Games raised $10.5 million.

This is an Indian AI native puzzle studio.

Mobile game spending fell 7% in Q3 according to Aream and Sensor Tower's latest report.

with no app store and creator payout terms remain unannounced on that platform.

So this is also reminiscent, there's like another web-based platform I've seen called Astrocade, a prompt-to-game startup that's actually backed by Google AI's Future Fund, reported 5 million monthly users, 75,000 games in May of 26 per Pocket Gamer and Fortune.

So when you think of these kinds of platforms on the pro slide, it's absolutely amazing that you can unlock your creativity.

You can make a game just by talking to a machine.

Brian Serger-Jergason is what I used to say to him.

The reason that I've picked SteamWorld Dig, other than it being a fantastic game, I was the handheld editor at Pocket Gamer.

And at this point, I'd written so many reviews, so many reviews.

I don't even know how many.

I was writing like three a day kind of thing.

Not just for Pocket Gamer, I mean for lots of different places.

I was in general quite a tough reviewer.

And sort of like an eight for me was it's mega good.
