February's top mobile games saw a surge in downloads and revenue, driven by hyper-casual mechanics, real-time multiplayer engagement, and aggressive monetization strategies. Free-to-play hits dominated with lightweight gameplay loops, while top-grossing titles leveraged gacha models and seasonal content to sustain spending.

Among top free gainers, 456 Run Challenge: Clash 3D (21.2M downloads) thrives on obstacle-based quick-play loops, while FPS Strike Ops: Modern Arena (12.5M downloads) leverages latency-optimized real-time combat. On the revenue front, Dragon Ball Z Dokkan Battle ($109M) continues its dominance through gacha-driven monetization, while CrossFire: Legends ($100M) sustains engagement with seasonal battle passes. These trends highlight the increasing importance of frictionless onboarding, adaptive difficulty, and high-retention mechanics in mobile game design.
