MY.GAMES is celebrating the 12th anniversary of War Robots, a tactical free to play PvP mobile shooter developed by its in house studio Pixonic. The celebration is marked by a major in game event called Martian Robotic Games, available with Update 12.0 across all platforms, as well as the grand War Robots Live Show 2026 for the community. Twelve years into its lifecycle, the title remains among the select few members of the so called Billion Dollar Club, a milestone achieved by only a handful of mobile games in history.
Throughout its journey, the game has reached impressive numbers that reinforce its relevance in the global market. To date, it has amassed 325 million registered users worldwide, including China, across all platforms and digital stores. This growth represents around 20 million new players per year, which equals approximately 1.7 million per month, supported by a thriving community of hundreds of thousands of active users.
"Operating a live-service game for over a decade requires strong community trust and a constant technological evolution," said Elena Grigoryan, CEO of MY.GAMES. "In 2025, we focused on breaking down barriers with cross-platform progression and quality-of-life updates. In 2026, we are doubling down on that commitment, ensuring War Robots remains the premier mecha experience on any device."
The game’s continuous evolution is also reflected in significant technological advancements. Over the past year, one of the major milestones was the implementation of cross platform progression, a long awaited feature that has already been used around 90 thousand times, allowing players to seamlessly switch between mobile devices and PC. This flexibility reinforces the idea of giving players the freedom to choose how they prefer to play.
In addition, access to the game has become even easier with the release of an official APK, allowing direct access without intermediaries. Another major highlight was the introduction of the Kill Cam feature, giving players new tools to analyze their battles and refine their combat strategies.
"War Robots is all about breaking through challenges — with the support of both our incredible team and community," said Boris Burangulov, Executive Producer of War Robots. "This past year was just the start of bringing the game to a new level, with many more things to come."
To celebrate the occasion, Update 12.0 introduces the Martian Robotic Games event, inspired by the spirit of global athletic competitions. In it, players can choose a faction to represent and compete in intense battles, earning in game rewards and proving their dominance on the battlefield.
The celebrations also extend beyond the game itself with the War Robots Live Show 2026. Over the course of six weeks, which began on April 14, the development team will present special episodes featuring community challenges, highlights from content creators, surprise announcements, and a deeper look at the future of the franchise. The first part is already available on the game's official YouTube channel.
The update also expands the ever growing roster of robots with the introduction of Vector, a new unit designed for an aggressive playstyle, combining high durability and mobility. The robot arrives alongside a dedicated pilot, new weapons, and a brand new drone, completing the package of new content for players.
