Funtap Games - Monthly Newsletter | December 2025

During November, many genres showed signs of recovery, with the most outstanding example being MMORPG’s growth in both Downloads and Revenue, after months of decreasing in many indicators.

Idle RPG genre also improved slightly after months of declining in both revenue and download, thanks to Hero Clash’s impressive growth.

The market’s segment in Realistic Sports rose significantly due to the launch of FC Mobile VN, the official licensed game from EA Sports. This is largely thanks to football’s popularity in Viet Nam.

During October, the time spent for Real-Time Strategy increased, possibly in relation to some popular games’ temporary events (Mini Warriors Reborn, The Battle Cats). Realistic Sports’ great jump might come from FC Mobile VN.

→ Genres with good performance in December: Tower Defense, Coin Looters, Realistic Sports, and MMORPG

• The MMORPG slightly recovered due to specific titles’ growth. However, it is not guaranteed that other MMORPG titles would succeed.

• Tower Defense genre performed well in November just like previous predictions. This genre might perform similarly in the upcoming months (including December and January 2026, before big holidays).

• 4X Strategy will be stable throughout the end of the year, and will probably extend to near-holiday periods. Other genres that performed well in November will continue its performance in December.

• For Realistic Sports, FC Mobile VN will continue its domination, so there are not many opportunities for new football games.Other kinds of sports do not have much popularity in the Vietnamese market.
