Infinity Nikki's Phenomenal First Month: $16 Million in Mobile Revenue
Infinity Nikki, the latest installment in the popular Nikki series, has shattered expectations, generating nearly $16 million in mobile revenue within its first month. This surpasses previous Nikki titles by a staggering 40 times, highlighting its immense popularity.
The game's success is largely attributed to its strong performance in China, where it garnered over 5 million downloads, contributing significantly to its overall revenue. Following a strong launch day, exceeding $1.1 million in revenue, daily earnings fluctuated. However, a Version 1.1 update sparked a resurgence, boosting daily revenue significantly.
Set in the captivating world of Miraland, Infinity Nikki immerses players in a whimsical journey alongside Nikki and her cat, Momo. Players explore diverse nations, solve puzzles using magically-enhanced outfits powered by Whimstars, and progress through an engaging storyline. The game's pre-registration numbers reached an impressive 30 million, demonstrating considerable anticipation before launch.
AppMagic data (via Pocket Gamer) reveals a remarkable revenue trajectory: $3.51 million in week one, $4.26 million in week two, and $3.84 million in week three. While weekly revenue decreased to $1.66 million by week five, the cumulative total still reached nearly $16 million within the first month. This eclipses both Love Nikki's ($383,000) and Shining Nikki's ($6.2 million) first-month performances. It's important to note that these figures only reflect mobile platform earnings.
Infinity Nikki's Record-Breaking Success
China's contribution to Infinity Nikki's success is undeniable, accounting for over 42% of total downloads. The game's initial peak daily revenue of over $1.1 million on December 6th gradually declined, reaching a low of $141,000 on December 26th. However, the Version 1.1 update revitalized the game, propelling daily revenue to $665,000 on December 30th—a near tripling from the previous day.
Infinity Nikki is currently available for free on PC, PlayStation 5, iOS, and Android. The developers are committed to sustaining the game's momentum through regular updates and seasonal events, such as the Fishing Day Event, ensuring a consistently engaging experience for players.
