Play publishes no history, so every series here is built from deltas between crawls we ran ourselves. Panels that need two captures say so until they have them.
Requested 7 days·6 observed daily points·Archive begins Aug 7, 2026The range controls the query window; it does not manufacture dates before DJAI began crawling.
Genre momentum over time

Each genre starts at 100, so the slope shows its percentage change without letting a higher raw score dominate the chart. The genre rollups table below preserves the latest raw momentum values.
Chart movers
Places gained or lost in the same chart slot between the first and last capture in this window. Measured, not modeled.
Climbers
Biggest moves toward #1 in the last 7 days.
No game gained a place in this window. That is a real result, not a missing one.
Fallers
Biggest slides away from #1 in the last 7 days.
No game lost a place in this window.
New releases by genre
Where new titles are actually landing, from the latest genre rollup.
Derived, not fetched: Play has no new-releases collection, so this counts games whose store release date falls inside the rollup window.
Monetization mix by genre
Share of games in each genre offering in-app purchases, and share carrying ads.

Both series are percentages of the same population, so they share one axis honestly. Two measures on different scales would get two charts, never a second y-axis.
