About a third of the game's total revenue across all platforms, including iOS and Android, comes from Windows devices, such as Windows tablets and Windows phones, Georg said. "Royal Revolt II" enjoyed tremendous growth in revenue on Windows phone in particular. "We doubled the revenues for the game in 2015 [compared to 2014] on Windows mobile devices," said Georg. He added that the streamlined structure of the new Windows Store that debuted with Windows 10 has been one of the key reasons for this increase.
