- The game has been downloaded 678 million times worldwide. This is the 18th-highest figure in history.
- Currently, the game is ranked 16th worldwide by Monthly Active Users (MAU).
- In the USA, the game has been downloaded by 164 million people. Only three games in history have more downloads – Subway Surfers, Candy Crush Saga, and Roblox. In terms of MAU, Pokemon GO is third in the USA.
- However, since 2019, the game has lost 52% of its user engagement time. In the first half of 2019, on average, people played it for 13 hours and 30 minutes each month; in the first half of 2023, this figure dropped to 6 hours and 27 minutes.
- There are several reasons for this decline: the end of the pandemic, increased competition (especially from Roblox). It’s quite possible that some updates have also impacted user engagement as they forced backlash from the community.
