Sensor Tower: Animal Crossing gets 15 million mobile downloads in 6 days

Judging by the flood of memes on Twitter about Nintendo’s Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, it’s no surprise to hear that it had a successful launch. In the first six days, it’s been downloaded at least 15 million times from the Apple App Store and Google Play, according to market analyst Sensor Tower. That puts it ahead of Fire Emblem: Heroes, though it’s behind Super Mario Run, which drew 32 million downloads in its first six days.

Pocket Camp is based on the popular Animal Crossing series, which has sold over 30 million games since its 2001 debut. Players create personalized camp sites and can build more furniture by leveling up and collecting crafting ingredients. It’s a social game that rewards daily logins and adding people as friends, and a big part of the gameplay is befriending animals in the world by gifting them with items like fruit, bugs, and fish. The in-game currency is bells, but some items and areas must be purchased using Leaf Tickets. Players can earn these by completing quests or using real-world money.
