Niantic: Pokemon Go data released by Eurogamer is incorrect
Pokemon Go, which is quite strong in the mobile game market, was released in 2016. It was claimed that the game, which closed 2022 with $ 645.59 million, ended April with the lowest income of the last 5 years.
According to data published by Eurogamer, Pokemon Go generated $34.7 million in revenue in April. The company, which started 2023 with a profit of 58 million dollars, responded to the allegations.

Epic Games, which makes the players happy by distributing free games, made 3 games free of charge this week.
Making a statement on the subject, Niantic spokesperson said, “The data published by Euroagamer is completely wrong. Our company has significantly increased its revenue compared to 2022. We don’t focus much on month-to-month revenue trends, as Pokemon Go’s financial success depends on live events. We’ll be back with exciting new features in the coming months.” made statements.
While Pokemon Go is undoubtedly still a crushing force in the mobile market, the game’s revenue apparently saw a notable drop in the past month. The app reportedly raised $34.7 million in April, the lowest total since February 2018. Developer Niantic reacted to the report and said it was “wrong”.
Honor of Kings ranks first among the highest-grossing games of April with $ 102.9 million. Genshin Impact, which placed second, grossed $87.8 million in April. Let’s mention that Candy Crush Saga is in the third place of the list with $ 84.3 million.
