Earlier this year, Pokemon Go had $ 3.6 billion in revenue since its release, according to a report published by Sensor Tower at the time. Now, it looks like the popular augmented reality game has taken off a major commercial milestone this year, specifically.
And in line with what was stated in the company report, the revenue of the popular monster collecting game has exceeded one billion dollars, so far.
Revenues for the first ten months of 2020 were about 30 percent higher when compared to the same period last year.
It was also interesting to confirm that the first ten months of 2020 were almost 11 percent higher when compared to the whole year of 2019 - which was higher than its insane launch year.
Thus, total player spending on Pokémon Go reached the global threshold of 4.2 billion dollars, while the United States of America contributed to achieving the largest part of this figure, by spending its players about 1.5 billion dollars.
Japan comes in second place, with revenues estimated at about 1.3 billion, and Germany is behind it at about $ 238.5 million.
Studio Niantic had made a series of changes to the style of play at the beginning of the year, seeking to compensate players during the home quarantine imposed by the global Corona pandemic, which prevented many from leaving their homes.
Pokemon Go is the third most-earning smartphone game in 2020, behind PUBG Mobile and Honor of Kings - although the latter's revenue surpassed PUBG Mobile in September 2020.
