The Harsh Economics of F2P
Day One Retention Rates
• On average less than 40% of
players return to a free-to-play
game after just one session
• 44% have 60 – 80% of players
not returning after one session
Many games live with low retention rates and therefore poor lifetime value

Just converting players to spenders is not enough
Need to plan past the first

Social conversion is hard, but later is better
Push social as a way to secure progress /
move
between platforms
Reward for connecting, delay invite push till later

when engaged players are
most likely to play

PC users convert best to payers
Cross-platform is the
future, in Unity or others
it is easy to release
across multiple
platforms
Even for obvious mobile
games we see strong
conversion numbers on PC

30% more hackers than real payers
Be vigilant with revenue validations
Block from PvP and tag hackers in
interactions
Make game much harder for hackers
©deltaDNA Ltd.
Android market very different to iOS
Think about where users
come from
North America, Europe
& South America are the 3 biggest
markets for mobile games
Future of F2P is more
international think global
©deltaDNA Ltd.
Be Patient and Generous
©deltaDNA Ltd.
Treat your players like people not ATMs
You have novices and experts in your game.
Treat them differently
Make decisions from data – reduce guesswork

games
