That’s the current set of sourced milestones. If you want this post to skew more “facts you didn’t know,” the best way is to add more items that are either (1) King/Activision Blizzard official releases, or (2) clearly labeled third-party analytics with methodology notes.

Methodology

  • Official milestones first: Lifetime revenue, lifetime downloads, and major level milestones are sourced from King’s corporate communications and Reuters coverage of the same milestone.
  • Third-party analytics: Revenue/installs estimates from firms like Sensor Tower and AppMagic are included only when clearly labeled as third-party reporting and linked directly to the methodology-bearing source page.
  • Volatile metrics: Level counts change constantly due to frequent content updates; for “current level” numbers, the King Community is used as a living reference.
