Mobile game makers head abroad

China's booming mobile games sector is gaining traction in overseas markets, as game developers seek to make massive gains in markets with rising mobile internet usage and demographic advantages, according to a report released on Monday by App Annie.

The mobile analytics company said Chinese mobile game publishers saw a significant rise of over 40 percent year-on-year in overseas revenues from Apple Inc's iOS App Store and Google Play Store during the first half this year, hitting $2.6 billion.
