Just seven months after its July 6, 2016 launch, Pokémon Go achieved over $1 billion in worldwide gross revenue across the App Store and Google Play, making it the fastest mobile game to reach this milestone.
In comparison, Clash Royale, released in March 2016, grossed about $550 million in its first seven months.
Despite a drop in daily revenue from $18 million in late July to $1.5–$2.5 million currently, Pokémon Go demonstrated its ability to boost spending via limited-time events like its Halloween bash.
With upcoming content updates such as Generation 2 Pokémon, Niantic is expected to far surpass the $1 billion mark.
Honor of Kings led April 2026 revenues with Season 43, cross-promotion with its spinoff, and Ne Zha 2 event. Last War: Survival Game ranked second via Easter Celebration. Download leader Block Blast! remained top, while Arrows Puzzle Escape and Arrows GO! led growth.
