Apple says Pokémon Go set new App Store record in its first week

Pokémon Go’s success is unlike anything that Apple’s App Store has ever seen before.

Pokémon Go had more downloads in its first week on the iOS App Store than any other app ever, according to Apple. It already beat Clash Royale to 10 million installs, but now the Google Maps-powered monster-capturing app is proving it’s bigger than anything that came before it in terms of attracting players. Overall, intelligence firm Sensor Tower has found that the game has more than 30 million downloads since debuting July 6. When it comes to money, Pokémon Go has already made $35 million in revenues from the $36.9 billion mobile gaming industry.
