Pokémon Go fever has slipped a bit since its peak. The mobile game from Niantic Labs has slipped to No. 3 in the U.S. top-grossing games on the iOS and Android app stores. Meanwhile, MZ’s Mobile Strike has reclaimed No. 1, and MZ’s Game of War: Fire Age has moved up to No. 2.
Supercell’s Clash Royale has fallen to No. 4, and Activision/King’s Candy Crush Saga is No. 5. MZ (formerly Machine Zone) has taken the No. 1 and No. 2 spots on both app stores, and that’s pretty rare event. Supercell did it with Clash of Clans and Boom Beach a couple of years ago.
Pokémon Go has been downloaded more than 500 million times, and it has generated an estimated $500 million in revenues since its debut in July. But the game’s payers have fallen dramatically since a peak, according to Slice Intelligence. A week ago, Pokémon Go slipped from No. 1 and Clash Royale took the No. 1 spot. Historically, Clash of Clans has had the most days at No. 1 on the U.S. Apple app store, according to SensorTower.
