With Pokemon GO having just celebrated its third birthday, Sensor Tower has taken a closer look at the mobile game’s financial performance since launch. The big stat: it has earned an estimated $2.65 billion worldwide across the App Store and Google Play. That’s more than both Candy Crush Saga and Clash Royale.
Players in the U.S. are responsible for 35 percent of gross revenue or close to $928 million. The next closest country is Japan, which has spent $779 million or about 29 percent of all in-game spending. Germany is third at 6 percent, or $159 million.
As far as devices go, Android users hold the slight majority at $1.43 million spent from Google Play. $1.22 billion was generated primarily by iPhone users. The last 1.6 percent of iOS revenue stems from those on iPad.
Three years after release, Pokemon GO is still a strong performer. It ranks #8 among all apps for worldwide revenue in June and #9 in Q2. Additionally, the game has grossed $395 million globally so far this year. That’s an increase of 19 percent over the first half of last year.
Pokemon GO players have collectively spent an average of $2.4 million each day since launch and an average of $5 for each of its 521 million downloads.
