Mobile market researchers SensorTower provided an update on Pokemon Masters and its performance during its first month on the market. Between August 29 and September 29, the game generated an estimated $33.3 million in player spending. Most of that money came from Japan, with Japanese players spending a total of $19.3 million. In second place is the US, with $6.3 million spent on the game. The estimated install base of Pokemon Masters is about 12 million players.

While this is certainly a good result, it doesn’t compare to Pokemon GO, which earned $302 million in its first month. Nonetheless, Pokemon Masters outperformed all other Pokemon mobile games in their first month, such as Pokemon Quest, Pokemon Duel or Magikarp Jump. You can see the full results on SensorTower here.

Mario Kart Tour installs are almost triple those of Super Mario Run, which was Nintendo’s previous record holder for mobile launch downloads.

Additionally, player spending has already topped $1 million globally. That’s roughly 25 percent of Nintendo’s best performing title on mobile during its launch day, Fire Emblem Heroes, which earned about $4.3 million.
