23 January 2020: Mail.ru Group has been named as the third most successful European mobile app publisher of 2019 in terms of revenue, by research company App Annie, rising two places on 2018’s report.
Mobile games published by the group’s global gaming brand, MY.GAMES, have contributed significantly to this rise.

MY.GAMES is committed to delivering the best gaming experiences to global markets and intends on continuing its strategic approach to growth over the next few years with the goal of increasing international revenue share to 80 per cent by 2022. It is hoped this will be achieved by increasing the company’s footprint globally and building strategic partnerships with brands, similar to the partnership with Fox Next to develop American Dad: Apocalypse Soon!.
