More than three years after its world-dominating launch, Pokémon Go is on track for its most profitable calendar year yet.
Niantic’s app passed the $3bn revenue milestone this week, according to data from mobile analyst firm Sensor Tower.
Pokémon Go launched in July 2016, and notched up $832m over the following six months. While only a half year of revenue, it’s a calendar year total which has never been beaten – though 2019 looks set to topple it.
