Gameranx closes out early summer 2019 with its monthly hunt for the best free mobile games.

Every few weeks, Gameranx wades through the App Store and Google Play charts to separate the free-to-play games worth a download from the ones drowning in loot boxes and energy timers. The channel’s “10 Best FREE iOS & Android Games” series has become a reliable monthly checkpoint for mobile gamers who don’t want to spend a dime before deciding whether a game is any good. The June 2019 edition, titled “10 Best FREE iOS & Android Games of June 2019,” keeps that formula intact.

  • Gameranx’s June 2019 countdown opens at No. 10 with NetEase’s Dawn of Isles, an adventure MMORPG available free on both iOS and Android.
  • The video is part of Gameranx’s recurring monthly mobile roundup, a series built around curating standout free-to-play releases across both major app storefronts.
  • Nintendo’s Mario Kart Tour, frequently and incorrectly tied to a June 2019 launch, actually ran only a closed beta that month ahead of its real release in September 2019.

A Familiar Monthly Ritual

Gameranx’s mobile countdowns follow the same rhythm every month: ten entries, ranked from least to most essential, all of them free to install. It’s less a “best games ever” list than a filter — a way to tell viewers which new arrivals on the App Store and Google Play are actually worth the storage space. The June 2019 installment slots into that same recurring format the channel has used for its free-to-play roundups going forward, and it arrived at a moment when mobile publishers were leaning hard into MMORPGs, idle sims, and AR spinoffs of established franchises.

Dawn of Isles Opens the Countdown

The list kicks off at No. 10 with Dawn of Isles, NetEase’s adventure MMORPG built for touchscreen play on both iOS and Android. NetEase had already made a name for itself in the mobile space by June 2019 through a string of free-to-play RPGs aimed at Western audiences, and Dawn of Isles fit that pattern — open-world exploration, cooperative questing, and the kind of persistent online world usually reserved for PC and console MMOs, scaled down to run on a phone.

Dawn of Isles opens the countdown at No. 10 — NetEase’s attempt to squeeze a full MMORPG world onto a phone screen, free to download on both storefronts.

Setting the Record Straight on Mario Kart Tour

One detail worth clearing up: Mario Kart Tour did not launch in June 2019. Nintendo ran a limited closed beta for the mobile racer in late May and early June that year, but the actual public release didn’t happen until September 25, 2019, timed for the holiday shopping run rather than a midsummer drop. Any claim that Tour was a finished, downloadable June 2019 release conflates that beta test with a launch that came three months later.

The Importance of Monthly Curation

Free-to-play mobile gaming in 2019 was a crowded, noisy category — thousands of new titles hit the App Store and Google Play every month, most of them clones chasing the same handful of successful formulas. A monthly, ranked, ten-deep list from a channel with Gameranx’s reach gave viewers an actual shortcut through that noise, the same service the channel provides with its broader new-release roundups for console and PC audiences.

Mario Kart Tour’s real arrival was still three months out when this video went up, which means anyone downloading based on this list in June 2019 was working with the actual free-to-play field as it existed that month — betas and pre-registrations aside.
