Video game mobile net bookings mix measures the share of total bookings generated by mobile titles.

Take-Two reported $739.5M of mobile Net Bookings in fiscal Q1 2027, equal to 53% of the total. The prior-year mix was 56%.

Mobile mix carries its own distribution economics

Take-Two says a significant portion of its mobile titles is distributed through Apple's App Store and Google Play, with platform fees recorded in cost of revenue.

The company also notes that mobile net revenue generally produces a lower gross-margin percentage than console or PC revenue because of those platform fees.

Mix can move even when total bookings barely change

A lower mobile share can reflect mobile title performance, stronger console releases, or both.

That is why mobile mix should be read alongside console net bookings mix and the digital channel mix, not treated as a stand-alone growth rate.

Take-Two's direct-to-consumer mobile efforts are also economically relevant because they can change the platform-fee burden without changing the underlying game platform.

Where this concept fits

Platform, distribution, and geographic mixCurrent relationship
Mobile and console bookings describe where players spend, digital bookings describe how transactions are distributed, and international bookings show where sales are generated. Keeping those dimensions separate avoids turning platform, channel, and geography into one normalized mix measure.

Bookings and revenue recognition
Net bookings follow current-period sales activity more closely than GAAP revenue, while deferred net revenue explains timing differences when online-enabled game economics are recognized across periods.

Launch sales and ongoing engagement
Full-game bookings capture release-driven purchases, while live services and recurrent consumer spending capture post-launch monetization. Recurrent-spending mix shows how much of the total comes from ongoing engagement.
