eFootball stays atop Japan's App Store game chart as Zen Zero surges

The Japanese App Store game ranking on July 29 showed Konami Digital Entertainment’s eFootball retaining the number‑one spot, aided by in‑game events celebrating the eFootball World Festival in Bangkok. The following day, July 30, eFootball remained at the top of the chart.

COGNOSPHERE’s title Zen Zero (ゼンレスゾーンゼロ) leapt from rank 60 to second place after the release of version 3.1 “Long Goodbye,” introducing new limited‑time characters and content. Bandai Namco Entertainment’s ONE PIECE Bounty Rush also rose sharply, moving from 30th to fourth place after adding the ultra‑rare character “Five‑Elder Star Marcus Mars Saint.”

These movements reflect the impact of fresh updates and promotional events on the popularity of mobile games in Japan’s App Store rankings.
