Pokemon Go brought in 4.5 billion USD in 6 years
In the summer of 2016, Niantic released the Pokemon Denmark Phone Number List Go augmented reality game for mobile. Immediately, Pokemon Go became a "fever" for everyone, regardless of young and old, boys and girls.

We easily come across people walking around every corner of the street, with "fifteen" smartphones in hand to "hunt" Pokemon.



The aim of the game is to catch as many Pokemon as possible, each with different strengths, train them and compete with other people's Pokemon.

In just the first month of launch, Pokemon Go brought in $ 200 million in revenue for the developer. For comparison, Fortnite's first month sales were $25 million and it took 90 days to hit $100 million.

In the first 8 months of the year, Pokemon Go gamers spent 430.6 million USD. At this rate, the whole year's revenue can reach 646 million USD, much lower than previous years.

In addition, according to data from Statista and App Magic, the game has been downloaded 590 million times, more than half taking place in the first year of release.

Pokemon are everywhere, from schools to shops and stores. Since 2016 until now, there have been many games using technology released, but Pokemon Go still proves its strong attraction, as shown by the above figures.
