More importantly, the COVID-19 pandemic has expedited the digital transformation and online collaboration of all industries, and therefore laid a solid foundation for our future development.

Our flagship JX Online III PC game also achieved a stable performance with revenue continuing to grow year-on-year. On 8 May 2020 (New York time), Kingsoft Cloud Holdings Limited was successfully listed on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations capital market ("NASDAQ"). Our cloud services business continued to maintain its robust growth in the first quarter, and as the largest shareholder of Kingsoft Cloud, we have full confidence in its future performance. Riding on the wave of the post-pandemic digital transformation, we are marching towards a bright future and are determined to become a winner of this unprecedented new digital era."
Mr. Tao ZOU, Chief Executive Officer of Kingsoft, added, "In the first quarter, our total revenue was RMB1,171.3 million, up 32% year-on-year, kicking off 2020 on a positive note in spite of the COVID-19 outbreak. Our office software and services and others, and online game businesses grew 36% and 30% year-on-year respectively in the first quarter."
BUSINESS REVIEW
Office Software and Services and Others
Revenue from the office software and services and others for the first quarter of 2020 increased 36% year-on-year to RMB390.6 million. The steady year-on-year growth was mainly due to the robust revenue growth from WPS Office subscription services, driven by rapid expansion of user base with enhanced features and services.
For the first quarter of 2020, the office software and services business developed steadily. Global monthly active users of WPS family reached record highs with strong growth of cloud office products and services, particularly WPS Docs. WPS Docs, an online document product, has become one of the largest online collaboration tools in China. Kingsoft Office has further consolidated its leading position in the office market in China, with a dominant user base in WPS Office and WPS Docs. During the quarter, Kingsoft Office provided more than 4 million free business collaborative cloud office accounts to various governments organizations, enterprises, schools and medical institutions, to support remote working and work resumption in the fight against COVID-19. More than 100 government organizations and industry associations have adopted WPS+, WPS business's one-stop cloud office service platform, as their preferred remote office product. With continued innovation and leading position in the field of office software, Beijing Kingsoft Office Software Inc. was named as an Innovation Pioneer Enterprise in Information Technology Application in China, and it was also admitted to the Information Technology Park in Jingkai district, a National Cybersecurity Industrial Park. WPS Office 2019 Security Edition received the prestigious "Butian Award" from the Independent Innovation Report of Internet Information in 2019 and Outstanding Product and Technology Award of Information Technology Application in China in recognition of its product excellency. The above breakthroughs provide a solid foundation for the Company's licensing business to seize opportunities in the areas of cloud office, innovative information technology and infrastructure investment. Going forward, Kingsoft Office will further leverage its technology capabilities to maintain dominant position and stellar reputation in document and information processing, while enhancing user experience and offering easy-to-use yet highly effective products and services.
