We’re all used to seeing the impressive numbers that Pokémon GO rakes daily, but Niantic’s monster catching phenomenon has reached new heights by generating US $ 21 million during its two-day Pokémon GO Fest 2021 event.

The figure, which translates to around £ 15.4million, comes from new Sensor Tower data shared with Eurogamer; There, it is reported that Saturday was the “most lucrative” of the two days, easily becoming one of the highest paying days in the app to date.

In an official Niantic recap of the event, which unsurprisingly avoids giving us all the juicy financial stats, the developer reveals that over 1.5 billion Pokémon have been captured, which players have collectively traveled over 125m. kilometers and that more than 23 m of raids were carried out.

“Thank you, Trainers, for making this year’s Pokémon GO Fest so special! Niantic said. “We were thrilled to see how much you enjoyed the event, whether at home, at a local park, or even at a celebration in our city. We look forward to the day we can all celebrate. together again. “
