The analysis report<\/a> published by Sensor Tower Japan on January 10, 2024 provides interesting insights into Japan\u2019s mobile game market for the period from January to December 2023. It seems that 2023 was a year of remarkable growth for foreign publishers in Japan, both in terms of downloads and revenue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
