Which mobile games do people actually play the most in 2026? Here are the official Google Play Store numbers — download counts and star ratings taken straight from each game’s own store listing, all as of 17 October 2026. No rumors, no estimates.
The 1-billion club: Free Fire and PUBG Mobile
Only a handful of mobile games ever cross one billion downloads. Two of them are battle royales, and both are huge in Bangladesh.
Free Fire — 1B+ downloads, 4.7★
Garena International I’s Free Fire shows 1B+ downloads with a 4.7-star rating from around 130 million reviews as of 17 October 2026 (source: its official Play Store listing). It is rated PEGI 16 and carries an Editors’ Choice badge. The store page is also running a Free Fire x NARUTO SHIPPUDEN collaboration right now. If you play, our Free Fire guides cover sensitivity settings and how the diamond top-up process works through official channels in Bangladesh.
PUBG Mobile — 1B+ downloads, 4.6★
PUBG MOBILE, published by Level Infinite, also sits at 1B+ downloads with a 4.6-star rating from about 48.7 million reviews as of 17 October 2026 (source: official listing). PEGI 16, Editors’ Choice, and the listing notes it contains ads. New to it? Start with our PUBG Mobile guides: control layout codes, graphics settings, and how to fix lag on low-end phones.
The 500-million and 100-million tiers
- Clash of Clans (Supercell): 500M+ downloads, 4.6★ from roughly 61.3 million reviews, PEGI 7 as of 17 October 2026 — still the friendliest rating of the big titles.
- Call of Duty: Mobile (Activision Publishing): 100M+ downloads, 4.3★ from about 16.6 million reviews, PEGI 16 as of 17 October 2026.
What the ratings actually say
Star ratings on the Play Store are remarkably tight at the top: 4.7 (Free Fire), 4.6 (PUBG Mobile), 4.6 (Clash of Clans) and 4.3 (COD Mobile) as of 17 October 2026. When hundreds of millions of people rate a game, keeping even a 4.6 average is the harder achievement — and it tells you these games still keep their players happy after years of updates.
Playing in Bangladesh
All four games are free to download from Google Play. If you decide to spend on in-game currency later, read our top-up guide hub first — it explains the official top-up channels for Bangladesh step by step, so you know exactly how the process works before you do anything.
