"Apple has revealed the most-downloaded games on iPhone and iPad for this year, as well as the top Apple Arcade titles. The lists contain quite a few familiar faces--like Fortnite and Minecraft--but Balatro stands out for 2025. That's because the game not only shows up on the paid mobile charts, but it's also No. 3 for Apple Arcade--the subscription service."
"Fortnite is No. 2 for free iPhone games and No. 3 for free iPad games. The battle-royale title finally returned to iOS in May in the US after roughly five years, as developer Epic Games and Apple engaged in a lengthy legal battle. Meanwhile, Minecraft claimed the top spots for paid iPhone and iPad games. That makes it two years in a row, as Minecraft held both positions in the most-downloaded App Store games for 2024, too."
