Fate/Grand Order has officially surpassed 100 million downloads worldwide, marking another major milestone for the long-running mobile RPG. To celebrate the achievement, Aniplex will host a special livestream on November 7, 2026, at 8:00 PM JST, featuring announcements about a new global campaign commemorating the milestone.
The broadcast will feature Ayako Kawasumi, the voice actress behind Artoria Pendragon, alongside several members of the Fate/Grand Order development team. Players will be able to watch the livestream through YouTube Live, Niconico Live, and Twitter Live, with individual viewing links scheduled to be announced at a later date.
The upcoming celebration is expected to bring additional rewards and activities for players worldwide, although specific details about the campaign have not yet been revealed.
Fate/Grand Order Continues Its Long-Running Success
Developed by Lasengle, Aniplex, and Type-Moon, Fate/Grand Order is a mobile RPG that brings together numerous characters from the wider Fate universe in an extensive original storyline.
Its gameplay revolves around turn-based combat, where players assemble teams of Servants and use Command Cards to execute attacks and abilities. New characters can be obtained through its gacha system, which has frequently attracted criticism over its relatively demanding acquisition rates.
Despite those concerns, the game’s storytelling remains one of its biggest strengths. Its expanding narrative, memorable characters, and regularly updated events have helped maintain a dedicated player base for more than a decade.
FGO Remains One of Japan’s Highest-Grossing Mobile Games
Interestingly, Fate/Grand Order has continued to perform strongly despite its age and increasing competition from newer mobile games.
According to Sensor Tower data, the game ranked as Japan’s highest-grossing mobile title in August 2026, coinciding with its 11th anniversary celebration. Its performance also remained impressive in early November, when it continued to occupy a position among Japan’s top-grossing mobile games.
FGO has been competing with several popular titles, including Goddess of Victory: NIKKE, Pokémon TCG Pocket, Genshin Impact, and Monster Hunter Outlanders.
Japan remains the game’s strongest market, but surpassing 100 million downloads worldwide demonstrates that its popularity extends well beyond its domestic audience.
More Than a Decade of Fate/Grand Order
The continued success of Fate/Grand Order highlights the lasting appeal of the Fate franchise. While newer mobile RPGs increasingly compete through modern graphics, larger production budgets, and more advanced gameplay systems, FGO continues to rely on its established character roster, evolving storyline, and recurring events to keep players engaged.
Its 100 million download milestone also reflects how far the game has expanded since its original launch. More than a decade later, the title remains active on iOS and Android, with a community that continues to support its ongoing updates.
With its worldwide download milestone and strong performance in Japan, Fate/Grand Order shows little indication of slowing down. Fans can look forward to the November 7 livestream for more information about the upcoming global celebration campaign.
