As the year 2020 came to a close, the crime game genre on Android devices witnessed varying levels of player engagement in the United Kingdom. Data from Sensor Tower offers a glimpse into the performance of the top five crime-themed games during the fourth quarter.

Kwalee Ltd's Let's Be Cops 3D experienced a promising start following its October release, with downloads peaking at approximately 55K in the third week of October. However, the trend showed a gradual decline, settling at around 18K by the end of December. The game's weekly active users followed a similar trajectory, starting strong at 72K and dipping to roughly 35K. Revenue saw a peak of $291K in early November before tapering off to $53K by the year's end.

Force Master by VOODOO, despite its earlier release, showcased a significant spike in downloads during the fourth week of October, hitting close to 59K. This surge was short-lived, and downloads normalized to approximately 7K by the end of December. The weekly active users reflected this pattern, with a high of 103K in late October, decreasing to about 16K. Revenue for Force Master was minimal, with occasional weeks showing no revenue at all.

Lion Studios' Clue Hunter maintained a steady download rate throughout the quarter, with numbers ranging from 12K to 17K. Weekly active users saw a gradual increase, from 23K in late September to over 31K in the final week of December. Since the game's revenue was negligible, the focus remained on downloads and active users.

CASUAL AZUR GAMES' Hitmasters showed an upward trend in weekly active users, from 73K at the beginning of the quarter to an impressive 104K by the end. Downloads also saw a rise, particularly in December, reaching nearly 25K. Revenue exhibited a steady state with minor fluctuations, ending the quarter with $244K.

Lastly, Playrix's Manor Matters stood out with its revenue numbers, which saw a remarkable climb from $1.7M at the quarter's start to over $32M by its conclusion.
