Some interesting data points to back this up:

* Activision Blizzard 2022 Report: ~50% of revenue for the first six months of 2022 came from mobile

* Forbes: 7 Mobile Games Now Make Over $100 Million Every Month

* NCSoft Q3 2022: ~440 KRW billion in mobile sales vs ~97 KRW billion in PC sales

* Game-of-the-Year Elden Ring has sold 17.5 million copies by September 2022. Assuming a very generous $100 average per copy, thats $1.75 billion.

That put's it slightly below the 3rd highest revenue mobile game in 2021.
