Downloads are down, but engagement is stable, indicating a mature, high-value audience. Gaming ranks third in Japan's digital ad spend, with the ad market at record highs.

Downloads reached 3.72B (+2.2%), led by ROBLOX and Free Fire, while hypercasual and World Cup-themed games surged. For ad ops, prioritize high-engagement windows around live events, leverage IP crossover audiences, and consider market-specific peaks (e.g., US 29.5% revenue share).
