Pokémon GO makes 100 million in a very good month for the industry.
The market analysis firm of the videogame industry Super Data has published a new report on how it was the sales of video games and content in digital format during May. The first holder starred Fortnite , which after making 296 million dollars in April managed to exceed the figure of 300 million for the first time this past month: specifically the battle-royale made 318 million.
Super Data also brings back the most revenue-generating releases to Pokemon GO . The adventure, which possibly catapultes even more its numbers after the announcement of Pokemon Let's Go, Pikachu! / Pokemon Let & # 039; s Go, Eevee !, added 104 million in May, 174% more compared to the same period before and reached the figure of 147 million active players, the highest since 2016.
It also highlights the good performance of Detroit: Become Human in digital format, selling a total of 291,000 units in May. On the other hand, Star Wars: Battlefront 2 exposes that the micropayments returns of April were translated the following month in a scarce 2.4 million dollars. In general terms, the industry generated 9,100 million, 36% more year-on-year growth.
