Total Revenue From Top 200 Grossing iOS Games Climbs 79% Year-Over-Year, Distimo Says

The free-to-play gaming model has helped pushed revenue for the top 200 grossing iOS games 79 percent higher over the past year, according to app store tracking firm Distimo.

The company, which releases monthly reports tracking growth in various app stores, said freemium gaming revenue made up slightly more than half of all the revenue generated by the top 200 iOS grossing games in June, up from an eight percent share a year earlier.

Virtual currencies were used in 35 percent of the top 300 free games in June, up from 24 percent at the beginning of the year.
