It used to be the case that the mobile gaming market was dominated by Casual and Hyper Casual titles such as Candy Crush and Merge County. While these and many other titles in the Casual and Hyper Casual market are still popular, the growing popularity of Midcore games such as Diablo ImmortalCall of Duty: Mobile, and Apex Legends Mobile is a sign that the mobile market is evolving and providing new experiences that cater toward the needs of PC and console gamers.

There are plenty of numbers backing this up. If we take a look at Midcore and Casual mobile games released in the past 365 days, nine Midcore titles still feature in the top-200 grossing chart (US), compared to just three Casual games.
