Leading French Android mobile game publishers 2023, by lifetime downloads

France is considered to be one of the pioneers of the video game industry and an innovator in terms of format, style, and themes. Thanks to powerhouses such as Ubisoft or Gameloft as well as newcomers, the French market has become fertile soil for innovation and variety, no matter the format. This phenomenon pays off as VOODOO mobile games have been downloaded almost 4.21 billion times in total on Android.

A growing market

With a total of 136 games available on Android, VOODOO is one French studio among many that have decided to specialize in mobile games, mostly free-to-play and casual. That is no surprise as smartphones are the most-used devices to play video games, ahead of consoles and computers. This phenomenon can partially be explained by the fact that smartphone penetration is higher every year in France. Casual and mobile gaming tops the list of the most-played video game genre, consolidating the evolution of the mobile gaming market in France.

Mobile gaming has numerous cards up its sleeves, such as low cost and portability. However, its strongest suit is French consumers’ interest in video games. Indeed, French people are avid video game players: a fifth of gamers play several times a day, and almost a third does so every day or nearly every day. While sometimes a solitary experience, some games are best shared with friends or within a family - most parents indeed stated playing video games with their children.
