The newly released Pokémon TCG Pocket game has enjoyed a strong launch, it’s claimed.
As reported byMobilegamer.biz, estimates from mobile market research firm AppMagic suggest the game made around $3 million per day on its debut weekend.
It’s claimed the game has made $12.1 million in its first four days, and is currently earning more revenue thanPokémon Go, which it’s estimated makes around $1 million per day.
Given that the game is a brand new release, it remains to be seen whether it can continue this momentum, or whether it will eventually drop off as players move to other games.
The game’s official account on X confirmed that the game had been downloaded more than 10 million times over its debut weekend.
AppMagic’s data also estimates that while Japan accounts for around 4% of the total number of game downloads, it accounts for around 45% of the game’s earnings, with Japanese players far more likely to pay for microtransactions.
