The most popular iOS games

Mobile hits aren't the games critics rate highest, so this list is about popularity: games that launched on phones first, ranked by how many players rated them on IGDB. Pokémon Go leads with 504 ratings. Console and PC classics that later came to iOS (like Tomb Raider) have their own list further down.
