Mobile game super product, earning half a billion USD in the month
Certainly, for a game to earn $ 500 million is not simple, not to mention earning speed, in just a few days. Yet 9 years ago, Pokémon Go did it in just 75 days, always setting the Guinness record that made the whole world surprised.
Recently, another mobile game appeared, surpassing the revenue of $ 500 million in 97 days and almost breaking the record of Pokémon Go. It is Pokémon TCG Pocket – a potential junior, just launched globally on October 30, 2024.
In fact, Pokémon TCG Pocket has been able to do better. After the global launch in October, the game quickly stirred up the big and small game charts, became the focus of attention and was extremely strong. However, after more than 1 month of booming, Pokémon TCG Pocket fell into the “black spot”, noted that the revenue dropped seriously at the end of December 2024 because there was no additional new update.
The revenue of Pokémon TCG Pocket before and after the release of Space-Time Smackdown expansion.
Yet as soon as the Space-time Smackdown, this game immediately “comeback”, even the date of release of the new expansion has become the most profitable day since the game appears ($ 9 million on the day of the day 30/1). Earlier, the average daily revenue of Pokémon TCG Pocket was 1.8 million USD, but thanks to the Space-time Smackdown, this figure has increased to $ 3 million at the present time.
The irresistible heat of Pokémon cards
Of course, the biggest factor that leads to the sudden growth of Pokémon TCG Pocket is the cards themselves. By adding more than 207 new cards, Space-Time Smackdown has become the largest expansion since the game launched. If compared to Genetic Apex – the first deck of the game, the addition is indeed impressive.
According to IGN estimated, gamers will take about 2 years of “plowing” to be able to collect the whole Genetic Apex deck. If you want to quickly, the money requires the investment player will fall around $ 1500. Therefore, it is not too difficult to understand when Space-time Smackdown can bring a lot of money for Pokémon TCG Pocket so much.
