Mobile games set to sustain growth

The business of mobile games continues to grow strongly in China, according to a recent industry report.

Tencent, China's top games publisher, owner of WeChat and backer of startups, said in a report its revenue from games reached 18.2 billion yuan ($2.8 billion) in the third quarter of 2017, up 84 percent year-on-year.

The report said that the level of revenue growth is expected to continue not only because of King of Glory, Tencent's game that became a big hit in 2017, but other games that Tencent was authorized to operate, such as Passion Leads Army.
