Pokémon GO's revenue has crossed a record $200 million within the mobile game's first month of launch.
Candy Crush Soda Saga from King and Supercell's Clash Royale have been top grossing mobile games in terms of first-month cumulative revenue. However, a study from app intelligence firm Sensor Tower shows that Niantic's location-based game Pokémon GO, which was released in early July this year, has crushed the records of these games.
Clash Royale, which was released in March this year, earned about $125 million in its first 30 days. Candy Crush Soda Saga earned more than $25 million in its initial month.
"Pokémon GO earned more than seven times as much net revenue in its first month as King's hit puzzle game. This is not only a testament to Pokémon GO's unparalleled popularity, but, when viewed against Clash Royale's first month, also speaks to how the measure of a hit game's launch (at least from a revenue perspective) has changed in just two short years," says Sensor Tower.
