    The hwstats page was no longer maintained and it was showing outdated information. While the Games by the Numbers reports are not a perfect replacement, these reports do contain some of the same data and often contain more specific insights that were not available on the old website.

    I also wanted to mention one Games by the Numbers report that is not listed on the site. We had an analytics trivia session at Unite Austion 2017:


    While there is no direct replacement, there are companies that specialize in providing market research about mobile games:

    For PC games, the Steam Hardware & Software Survey is invaluable:
