Pokémon TCG Pocket Nails Record Launch

Pokémon TCG Pocket appears to be the overnight success that The Pokémon Company and its partners were hoping for, as the game is already closing in on a few mobile gaming records just days after launch.

In the first two days following its worldwide release, Pokémon TCG Pocket achieved over 10 million downloads– which shows that it’s already one of the best mobile games on the market right now. But this is only the beginning of a successful launch.

According to mobile market analysis group Sensor Tower, via reporter Stephen Totilo game fileTCG Pocket’s global launch saw 1.2 million players download the game and an estimated $1.9 million in revenue on day one. This preliminary data would propel TCG Pocket to third among all-time mobile releases in terms of revenue, although we won’t know for sure since The Pokémon Company doesn’t publicly release this information.

Sensor Tower analyst Sam Aune noted, via Game File, that a big launch doesn’t “necessarily correlate with mega success,” pointing to mega-hits like Monopoly Go, Royal Match, and Honor of Kings that develop over time to reach incredible levels. numbers rather than having explosive launches.

Despite Aune’s disclaimer that this data is preliminary and not confirmed by TPC, Sensor Tower also estimates that the game generated $2.8 million in revenue on its second day.
