With the Opening of the Pro Baseball Season, Com2uS Baseball Game Also Hits Big... April Sales Reach All-Time High View original image


[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] Com2uS's baseball game lineup recorded its highest-ever performance in April. This is attributed to the opening of professional baseball leagues in Korea and North America and the transition to the COVID-19 endemic phase, which significantly increased interest in baseball.


Com2uS announced on the 9th that its mobile baseball game titles based on the KBO and MLB, including "Com2uS Pro Baseball" (hereafter "Comfya") and the "MLB 9 Innings" series, ranked high on domestic and international sports game charts, surpassing a combined revenue of 13 billion KRW in April, setting a new monthly sales record.


In April, the total revenue from Com2uS's baseball game lineup grew by more than 30% compared to the same period last year, with over 50% of total sales driven by overseas markets. This is interpreted as a result of the overall increased interest in baseball, including a significant rise in spectators visiting baseball stadiums due to the endemic phase. In fact, on Children's Day, May 5th, approximately 103,000 people gathered at five baseball stadiums nationwide, marking the sixth highest single-day attendance record.


Notably, "MLB 9 Innings 22" became the first domestic baseball game to rank in the top 3 in sports game revenue on the two major U.S. app markets and secured the number one spot among baseball games after this season's update. It also claimed the top spot in sports games in Taiwan, where baseball is highly popular, establishing itself as the world's premier Major League Baseball game. The PC-based Major League simulation game "Out of the Park Baseball (OOTP)" is also recording high sales following the league's opening.


Com2uS's strong presence in the Korean market continues, with four of its baseball games ranking in the top 10 of Google Play's sports game charts in Korea. "Com2uS Pro Baseball 2022" maintains its position as the number one baseball game, while the new release "Com2uS Pro Baseball V22" has contributed to achieving record highs by targeting a new user base with its casual gameplay.



A Com2uS representative stated, "With the season opening, Com2uS's baseball game lineup has been recognized for its unique fun elements, further expanding its domestic and international market base." They added, "Based on 20 years of Com2uS's baseball game development expertise and strength, we will do our best to ensure that the entire lineup grows into the best game series not only in Korea but also in the global market."
