Just when it looked like things couldn\u2019t get worse for Niantic after data suggested Pok\u00e9mon Go’s<\/em> daily player count has dipped in 2023, its monthly revenue in April has reportedly dropped to the lowest it\u2019s been in five years, according to Mobilegamer.biz.<\/p>
In their business report, released on May 3<\/a>, Mobilegamer claimed the popular mobile\u2019s revenue has been on a slide. In February, it generated $58 million, but dropped to $42.8 million in March and $34.7 million in April\u2014the lowest it\u2019s been since Feb. 2018. It still ranks as the 12th highest-grossing mobile title, but these numbers have to be alarming for Niantic, especially since the player count has seemingly dropped too<\/a>.<\/p>
It led to a massive strike<\/a>, which undoubtedly played a part in the player dip and revenue hit. The community is pretty chuffed<\/a> because it means their efforts weren\u2019t in vain.<\/p>
The game isn\u2019t in the best state<\/a> either, according to a lot of players, and that doesn\u2019t help. The biggest issue, in their view, is it\u2019s become a boring, repetitive snoozefest. They begged Niantic to give them more Pok\u00e9mon <\/em>to catch rather than recycling the same ones. They also called for better spawn rates, better events and seasons, and more.<\/p>
It will be very interesting to see how Niantic deals with the situation.<\/p>
