The year 2020 has been the most profitable year for Pokemon Go since its launch in 2016. The mobile game generated $1 billion in revenue between January and October 2020.<\/p>\n

According to the research data analyzed and published by Safe Betting Sites<\/a>, in that 10-month period, players spent 11% more on the game than they did throughout 2019. Moreover, in comparison to the first 10 months of 2019, there was a 30% increase in player spending.<\/p>\n

The mobile game was a major sensation in 2016, its year of launch. Within seven days of launch, by July 19, 2016, it got over 10 million downloads. At the time, it was the fastest game in history to reach 10 million downloads. It later lost that title to Super Mario Run which had 10 million downloads in one day.<\/p>\n

In its first month, Pokemon Go made it to the Guinness World Records when it generated $207 million, the highest revenue for a mobile game during its first month. At the end of October 2020, it was in the fifth spot on the list of the highest one-month revenue for free-to-play games.<\/p>\n

During its launch year, it generated a total of $832 million in only six months. That made 2016 its most profitable year yet.<\/p>\n
