On the fifth anniversary of the mobile sensation- Pokemon Go, it was discovered that the game has gathered a whopping $5 billion in revenue. According to a recent analysis from Sensor Tower, Niantic’s iOS and Android games have made a crazy amount of money in the half-decade since it originally launched.
Over the last five years, Pokemon Go has made an estimated $5 billion revenue. Sensor Tower, a mobile app tracking website, reports that the firm reached a sales milestone earlier this year, collecting over $642 million in revenue in the first six months of 2021.
