Pokemon Go Ends Historic First Month With $200M in Revenue

Pokémon Go's first month is one for the record books.

As Android Police reported early Monday, the game has officially racked up an incredible 100 million downloads on Google Play.

What does this incredible popularity equate to, in terms of dollars and cents? Hundreds of millions, according to Sensor Tower. The mobile app analytics firm on Friday estimated that the game raked in more than $200 million during its first month of availability in the App Store and Google Play, easily beating out other top-earning games like 2014's Candy Crush Soda Saga and this year's Clash Royale. Check out the chart below for more.

"Clash Royale was a revenue powerhouse during its first month of availability, but Pokémon Go still vastly out-earned it during the same period of time," Sensor Tower's Head of Mobile Insights Randy Nelson wrote in a blog post. Compared to Candy Crush Soda Saga, Pokemon Go has earned seven times as much in its first month.
