Many mobile games are quite simple, but more and more complex mobile games are becoming popular over time. Call of Duty: Mobile is a great example of that — and is currently slated to eclipse $1 billion in revenue by the end of 2021. Activision is working on a new mobile Call of Duty title, partially in response to this game's success.
