Developer Niantic’s Google Maps-powered location game that places digital creatures into your real world using augmented reality has fallen from the No. 1 spot on the iOS App Store’s top-grossing charts, according to data-tracking firm Sensor Tower. Pokémon Go spent more than two months at the top following its release in early July. It ended yesterday, September 19, at No. 2 in terms of revenues behind the resurgent Clash Royale head-to-head strategy battler. Developer Supercell updated that game with a ton of new cards, and that got fans spending. So this isn’t necessarily a case of faltering Pokémon Go, and the game could reclaim the revenue crown as Niantic returns with major updates of its own in the $36.6 billion mobile-gaming industry.
