Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp made its proper debut around the world today. After just a few hours on iOS and Android, the game seems to be doing pretty well so far.
Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp is already the most-downloaded iPhone app on the US App Store in just seven hours. It’s also among the top ten highest grossing iPhone apps on Japan’s App Store in the same amount of time. Aside from the United States, the game is the most downloaded iOS app in Japan, Canada, France, Germany, Spain, Austria, and Luxembourg. Furthermore, it’s in the top ten most downloaded apps in Great Britain, Ireland, Switzerland, Italy, and Singapore.
We also have a small update on spending. In Japan, Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp is already #10.

The physical version of Axiom Verge launches on Switch and other platforms today. Creator Tom Happ teamed up with BadLand Games to make that possible.
We didn’t know about this previously, but BadLand Games will be donating 75% of its share to a special fund that will help cover the healthcare costs for Happ’s son, Alastair. It’s with a heavy heart that we say doctors failed to treat Alastair with a routine case of jaundice when he was just days old. This sadly left him with Kernicterus that severely impacts his motor control and hearing.
Happ says BadLand “didn’t want to publicize it, since none of us wanted to be seen as trying to use my son’s suffering as a marketing tool for the game.” Still, this is an admirable move on BadLand’s part.
Happ wrote the following on the Axiom Verge website today:
The latest maintenance for Switch will be taking place later this week. On November 24, services will be impacted for roughly 2.5 hours.
Here’s the full schedule:
– 11:50 PM PT (November 23) – 2:30 AM PT (November 24)
– 2:50 AM ET (November 24) – 5:30 AM ET (November 24)
