Pokémon Go: players spent more money there in 2020 than on the same date last year


The whole world may be upset by a pandemic and everything that comes with it, mobile gaming Pokémon Go managed to make even more money in the first half of 2020 than it did last year.

One would have thought that confinement would harm an application that invites its users to explore the outside world. However, it was rather the opposite that happened, as indicated by data shared by Sensor Tower this Monday.

In the first six months of 2020, players from Pokémon Go would have spent approximately US $ 445.3 million, a little more than $ 46 million additional compared to the same period in 2019.

Also according to Sensor Tower, augmented reality gaming has now exceeded the US $ 3.6 billion mark in money spent by its followers since its publication in July 2016. It is in the United States that we would invest the most in Pokémon Go, followed by Japan and Germany.

Recall that earlier this year, developer Niantic has adapted his popular title to allow fans to play more easily from home. This may explain in part how mobile gaming has managed to raise even more money than in 2019 in the past few months.

In the same vein, a fully digital version of the Pokémon Go Fest event will be held on the web on July 25 and 26. To participate, you will have to pay $ 20.99 Canadian.

An advertisement for the big virtual meeting, directed by none other than the filmmaker Rian Johnson, has been shared today.

The director of Star Wars: The Last Jedi and Knives Out would supposedly be a great lover of Pokémon Go… We learn it every day!
