Pokemon Go

Pokémon Go ya ha obtenido en 2020 los ingresos anuales más elevados de su historia, a pesar de que aún falten dos meses para terminar el año.

Pokemon Go surpassed its best-ever annual revenue with two months of 2020 still to go, as Covid-19 (coronavirus) lockdowns apparently failed to stem the popularity of the location-based Niantic title.

Niantic unveiled plans to pull its popular mobile game Pokemon Go from devices running older versions of the Android and iOS systems, citing a need to focus on the majority of users who use more powerful handsets.

Niantic revealed plans to end support for the Apple Watch app for Pokemon Go on 1 July, stating players’ activity can now be effectively tracked using just the smartphone app.

Pokemon Go maker Niantic raised $245 million in a Series C financing round, which it will use to develop new games and expand its augmented reality (AR) and machine learning initiatives.

Niantic’s Pokemon Go grossed $85 million in revenue after being downloaded 8. 86 million times worldwide during September, making it the strongest month for installs in 2018 so far, Sensor Tower reported.

Pokemon Go maker Niantic said tens of millions of people around the world now play the game every month, with a 35 per cent increase in active usage since May.
