Fourth Quarter 2024 Operating Results
For PC games, total average monthly active user accounts[4] (MAU) were 2.3 million, an increase of 2% year-over-year and 9% quarter-over-quarter. Total quarterly aggregate active paying accounts[5] (APA) were 1.0 million, an increase of 9% year-over-year and 14% quarter-over-quarter. The quarter-over-quarter increase in MAU, and the year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter increases in APA were mainly because the content updates that Changyou launched for TLBB PC during the quarter were well received by players.
For mobile games, total average MAU were 2.6 million, an increase of 53% year-over-year and a decrease of 20% quarter-over-quarter. Total quarterly APA were 0.4 million, an increase of 25% year-over-year and a decrease of 61% quarter-over-quarter. The year-over-year increases in MAU and APA were mainly from new games launched during recent quarters, including Journey Renewed: Fate Fantasy, which is the international version of New Westward Journey and was launched in Southeast Asia during the fourth quarter of 2024. The quarter-over-quarter decreases in MAU and APA were mainly due to the natural decline of New Westward Journey in the Chinese mainland market.
