It's pretty hard to believe that Pokémon GO has only been out for a month. Although the game is still rolling out in some parts of the world, it continues on its upward trajectory in terms of revenue.
According to app analytics platform Sensor Tower, the game has amassed over USD200 million (RM806 million) in little over a month! That's... insane.
When comparing totals after the first month of launch, Pokémon GO has nearly doubled the success of Clash Royale. The app has also earned almost seven times as much as Candy Crush.
Pokémon GO’s launch in Japan - Nintendo's home country - had a big impact on the augmented reality game’s money-making power
Revenue exploded from there, spiking from around USD75 million to USD200 million in just under 14 days!
Pokémon GO’s revenue is expected to see more gains in the coming days, as the app just added support in 15 more Asian countries
Sensor Tower also reported on the daily usage number for Pokémon GO, which average approximately 26 minutes per day. With more than 100 million downloads, and the app’s arrival in some of the world’s largest countries looming, expect success to skyrocket once support for more countries is added.
Well, it looks like when it comes to mobile earnings records, this game has gotta break ’em all!
