Sensor Tower has another report on Mario Kart Tour’s performance. One of the main highlights: the mobile game has seen 90 million unique downloads in its first week, and it’s by far Nintendo’s fastest mobile game launch in its history.
The next closest game is Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, which saw 14.3 million downloads in its first week. Super Mario Run also had 13 million downloads when it initially came out.
