Pokemon GO’s Active User Count Has Gone Up 35% Since May

3.5
Niantic have been knocking it out of the park recently with their constant support of Pokemon GO. Earlier this year, they added Pokemon trading to the game, while PvP is also in the pipeline, not to mention all the events that are being held on a regular basis.

And it’s showing, too. Niantic recently put up an update on their website, stating that Pokemon GO’s player count of active users has gone up 35 per cent since May of this year. Ever since social features such as trading and making friends were added to the game in June, Pokemon GO players have made more than 113 million friend connections and sent 2.2 billion gifts to each other.

Niantic also revealed that across the three global events they held in Japan, USA, and Germany, in the cities of Yokosuka, Chicago, and Dortmund respectively, over 400,000 players participated- which is a very impressive number by any metric.

There’s been a lot of other recent evidence to suggest Pokemon GO’s surge in popularity too. For instance, it was the highest grossing mobile game in the USA for the month of July, while it also jumped back up in the App Store’s ranking. Not to mention the fact that the game’s revenue has also risen to $2.5 million a day now.

Crazy how it has gone up, I personally haven't touched it since August the year it came out.

JimboPosted:

Not surprised at all. They've been adding so much lately plus so many events. Personally going to start playing again.

SagePosted:

This doesn't surprise me.. With things they should have added in the game on near release are being added finally I can see why people are coming back.

I use to like this game when it first came out but then the hype sort of just dyed off

CraigPosted:

Can't believe this is gaining players still but good on em. Keeping this game going and milking it for all they can...

GroguPosted:

Everyone seems to be going back onto it lmao. I seriously thought it died

MazePosted:

People say their updates are stupid cause the game is dead, but it's clearly not. I sure don't play anymore, and I know lots of users on here don't, but it is still very popular.
