🇯🇵 Japan Mobile Game Rankings
App Store Top Charts • May 29, 2026
Today's top mobile games in Japan: ルミナアビス：光と闇を紡ぐ少女たち, フォートナイト, Pokémon TCG Pocket and more. Free and grossing App Store rankings updated May 29, 2026.
Market overview
Japan's mobile gaming market on May 29, 2026, presents a clear bifurcation between enduring core experiences and the immediate, powerful impact of new, high-quality IP entries. The top-grossing charts are anchored by established giants like *eFootball™* and *プロ野球スピリッツＡ*, demonstrating consistent engagement with deep sports simulation and monetization loops. However, the rapid ascent of *Pokémon TCG Pocket* highlights the immense power of revered IP to capture significant revenue upon launch, particularly within a niche, collectible genre. This dynamic contrasts with the broader user acquisition reflected in the free charts, where a new anime RPG (*ルミナアビス*) competes with evergreen titles like *フォートナイト* and more casual puzzle games, signaling diverse entry points into the market.
