Sensor Tower — Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp gets a boost thanks to New Horizons

Everyone is talking about Animal Crossing these days, but it’s important to note which Animal Crossing they’re talking about. New Horizons has become a massive hit for Switch since its release on March 20. Meanwhile, I’ll forgive you for forgetting that a mobile take on the franchise came out just a few years ago. But thanks to New Horizons, it just had its best month ever, according to market analyst Sensor Tower.

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp released for Android and iOS in 2017. It was Nintendo’s third major mobile game, following Super Mario Run and Fire Emblem: Fates. While Fates has proved to be a hit, Pocket Camp didn’t make as much of an impact.
