Hearthstone Annual Revenue
Revenue peaked around 2017 and has slid every year since. The 2020 uptick came from pandemic-era play, and the drop after 2023 tracks the shrinking active player base.
Card pack sales and battle pass purchases still supply most of the income. Blizzard folds Hearthstone earnings into Microsoft’s gaming segment, so all yearly totals are analyst estimates.
| Year | Revenue (Million USD) |
|---|---|
| 2017 | 395 |
| 2018 | 335 |
| 2019 | 260 |
| 2020 | 285 |
| 2021 | 240 |
| 2022 | 205 |

About Hearthstone
Blizzard Entertainment developed and published Hearthstone, a free-to-play digital collectible card game released on 11 March 2014.
Two players take turns spending mana to play minions and spells, aiming to cut the opponent from 30 health to zero. Ten classes each carry a unique card pool and hero power.
Modes include Standard, Wild, Arena, Battlegrounds, Duels and Twist. Battlegrounds pits eight players in an auto-battler bracket and now pulls a large share of daily sessions, similar to the eight-player format in Clash Royale tournaments.
Players earn cards through packs, crafting with dust, and a seasonal Rewards Track. Ranked ladder play resets each month.
