Google’s YouTube apps for Android and iOS have helped the company triple advertising sales on mobile in the past six months, the company has said. Mobile ads now contribute an estimated $350 million to YouTube’s revenue, with around a quarter of the site’s 1 billion users accessing videos on smartphones and tablets.
Real Racing 3 fans have yet more content to look forward to in a new update that promises a new track, new cars, and new events. EA announced the release, which will introduce twilight racing at the Dubai Autodrome, on the company’s official Facebook page.
EA has confirmed that it is developing a mobile version of its Frostbite game engine called Frostbite Go for Android and iOS. The engine will empower “EA game developers with Frostbite’s proven excellent workflows and features to bring true Frostbite experiences to all major mobile platforms,” EA says on its website.
Real Racing 3 is set to get its first update since hitting the App Store back in February, and it’s going to be a big one.

EA has published a teaser trailer ahead of the update’s release, which shows off the new cars.

The freemium title allows gamers to build their own Springfield after Homer wiped out the town with a nuclear meltdown. But it’s currently only available in the United States.
When you combine all the titles in Apple’s App Store with those in Google Play, you have a catalog of more than 1.4 million apps from hundreds of thousands of developers. But incredibly, more than 50% of the revenue made by these stores in the United States goes to just 25 app developers.
Right on schedule, EA has release Need For Speed Most Wanted to the Android masses. If you head over to the Play Store, you’ll find Need For Speed in all its rubber burning glory. This nineteenth iteration in the long-running Need for Speed series features stunning graphics and immersive gameplay.
