A thoughtful new report from Niko Partners explores the growing impact of “evergreen games” on the global market. The report identifies Tencent as one of the leading operators in this space, with a broad portfolio of titles that sustain long-term engagement through live operations, strong communities, and cross-platform strategies. Franchises such as Honor of Kings and PUBG MOBILE are highlighted as examples of how this model can scale globally and evolve into broader entertainment ecosystems. A compelling perspective on where the industry is heading.
Niko Partners has released a new free whitepaper examining the market impact of evergreen games. What defines an evergreen game? It's a title that: ✅ Is available across multiple regions ✅ Has an average monthly active user base of 5M+ ✅ Generates $200M+ annual revenue ✅ Has been on the market for at least 3 years Key takeaways from the whitepaper: 🎮 60+ titles qualify as evergreen games today, with publishers such as Tencent, Microsoft, and NetEase leading in evergreen portfolios. ⭐ Notable evergreen titles include League of Legends, Valorant, PUBG MOBILE, Genshin Impact, Fortnite, Minecraft, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege, Grand Theft Auto V, and CounterStrike 2. 🕹️ Evergreen titles have become central to gaming’s multimedia ecosystem, driven by high replayability, long-term engagement, and strong player spending. ⏳ Time spent on new games is declining, as players increasingly return to established legacy titles, many of which are evergreen. 📺 As these games mature, publishers are expanding beyond gameplay through esports, livestreaming, and transmedia initiatives, extending IP reach and diversifying revenue streams. 🔥 Niko’s 2025 player survey across 13 countries in Asia & MENA found that 62% of players are motivated to play games that align with evergreen game characteristics. How did these games become such a powerful force in the industry? Download the free whitepaper below 👇 https://lnkd.in/ghFcUXPw
