As the year comes to a close, Apple is recognising the most popular apps and games of 2023, with year-end charts localised for users in more than 35 countries and regions. The 2023 charts, now available on the App Store’s Today tab, include the top free and paid apps and games, as well as the top Apple Arcade games. In addition to year-end charts, users can also discover the 2023 App Store Award winners, the very best apps and games of the year selected by the App Store Editorial team for their ability to provide users with meaningful experiences and inspire cultural change.
The App Store is the world’s safest and most vibrant app marketplace, recommending the best apps and games to its more than 650 million weekly visitors. With helpfully curated content from the App Store’s team of global editors, the Today, Apps and Games tabs remain a daily destination for users to discover in-app events, original stories, in-depth interviews, tips and collections through easy-to-browse sections, and personalised content based on their interests.
