The largest contributor to the app’s success has been the U.S. which ranks at the top of Pok\u00e9mon Go\u2019s <\/em>revenue list, with overall spending for the country sitting at $1.9 billion, or 36.6 percent of the game\u2019s total lifetime revenue. Japan ranks just behind the US at 32 percent of the app\u2019s total spending, while there is a steep drop off to Germany\u2019s 5.4 percent at number three.\u00a0<\/p>
In total, Pok\u00e9mon Go <\/em>has been downloaded approximately 632 million downloads, with the US again ranking number one with around 115.5 million, or 18.3 percent of all installs, followed by Brazil and India. <\/p>
Most of those downloads came from the Google Play Store, which was used for approximately 487 million installs or 77 percent of the total, while the Apple App Store accounted for the other 144.8 million downloads. As a result, Google Play also accounts for the majority of player spending for the game, though it is not as big a deficit. <\/p>
Google Play accounted for $2.7 billion, or 52.8 percent, of all player spending in Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/em>, while the App Store, while lacking severely in downloads by comparison, still pulled in $2.4 billion, or 47.2 percent. Based on that, players spending on Apple devices would have a much higher average than those on Google Play. <\/p>
With more than half of Pok\u00e9mon Go’s<\/em> recorded 2020 revenue being matched already this year, Niantic could see another record-setting year once the game\u2019s 2021 numbers are finalized next year.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

In total, the game has surpassed $5 billion in lifetime revenue since its launch on July 6, 2016.\u00a0 For Niantic, that marks a 41 percent year-on-year increase for the game as it continues to average around $1 billion in yearly revenue heading into the app\u2019s fifth anniversary. And, according to Sensor Tower\u2019s latest data report, 2021 was a record start for the game, with $641.6 million in player spending recorded in the first half of the year, up 34 percent from the start of 2020. The largest contributor to the app's success has been the U.S. which ranks at the top of Pok\u00e9mon Go\u2019s revenue list, with overall spending for the country sitting at $1.9 billion, or 36.6 percent of the game\u2019s total lifetime revenue. Japan ranks just behind the US at 32 percent of the app\u2019s total spending, while there is a steep drop off to Germany\u2019s 5.4 percent at number three.\u00a0 In total, Pok\u00e9mon Go has been downloaded approximately 632 million downloads, with the US again ranking number one with around 115.5 million, or 18.3 percent of all installs, followed by Brazil and India.\u00a0 Most of those downloads came from the Google Play Store, which was used for approximately 487 million installs or 77 percent of the total, while the Apple App Store accounted for the other 144.8 million downloads. As a result, Google Play also accounts for the majority of player spending for the game, though it is not as big a deficit.\u00a0 Google Play accounted for $2.7 billion, or 52.8 percent, of all player spending in Pok\u00e9mon Go, while the App Store, while lacking severely in downloads by comparison, still pulled in $2.4 billion, or 47.2 percent. Based on that, players spending on Apple devices would have a much higher average than those on Google Play.\u00a0 With more than half of Pok\u00e9mon Go's recorded 2020 revenue being matched already this year, Niantic could see another record-setting year once the game\u2019s 2021 numbers are finalized next year.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/06053050\/da5a1c85eaaaa467519156a3bdc0e4c1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/422570"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1706"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=422570"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/422570\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":422575,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/422570\/revisions\/422575"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/422573"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=422570"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=422570"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=422570"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=422570"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=422570"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=422570"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=422570"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
