In October, Pokémon GO captured an estimated $73 million in gross revenue worldwide. Although it's not quite as impressive as the cool $84.8 million in the month of September, it's still a positive development.
Compared to last October, 67 percent more has been spent on the game in the same month this year. This was enough to position it as the seventh highest mobile game in terms of revenue and the eighth highest in terms of revenue for all mobile apps. It even beat out Epic Games' mobile version of Fortnite.
In terms of player spending, Japan represented 33.2 percent in total sales and the US made up 32.9 percent of sales. 54 percent of player spending was on Google Play devices. Sensor Tower reports GO saw a significant drop in November last year right through until January 2018. We'll just have to wait and see if history repeats itself, or the surge in spending continues.
Did you play GO in the month of October? Do you still regularly play this game? Tell us below.

"Did you play GO in the month of October? Do you still regularly play this game?"
LOL
No.
But i will buy Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu.
Nice! Hopefully, this translates to more Switch sales.
Haven’t stopped playing since launch. Didn’t spend and money in game for the last few months though. I’m able to get my 50 coins/day fairly regularly so no need for real world money.
Gota Cash Em All!
Pokémon...ey!
They'd never make a dime from me, I'm hardcore free2play on mobile games.
I walk a lot. I walk to work, to the store, to the train station, basically everywhere I go I walk. (You wouldn't know it if you saw me though, still fat. lol)
So I play Pokemon Go and listen to music usually while I do. Go also gives me an excuse to get out of the house when I otherwise don't really need to. And even if it hasn't helped my weight at all. I imagine it's still good for me to go out an walk rather than stay home all the time.
Also for anyone who played this game briefly when it was new and gave up on it, I really encourage you to give it another look. They've added a ton of new content since then.
Never even been able to play, as I could never get it to load on my lousy zte N817 phone.
I bet they’re having an even better November. This Adventure Sync update has been a nice incentive for me to play more often. It’s working the way it always should have.
I'm really enjoying all of the changes that have been made to Pokemon GO. I played it to death when it first released and was walking miles extra every day because of it. Unfortunately my phone died and the new one I got didn't run GO so well, so I gave up for a couple of years. It really is a much better game now, especially with regards to Gyms, Raids and missions. They have added so much cool content.
Well atleast Pokemon is making some dosh all of a sudden.
I've been checking in on Pokemon Go more often lately with the addition of new Pokemon to catch. I'm still not spending real, actual money on it, but I'm still playing it regularly. I'm not going on Pokemon catching hikes like I used to, and I rarely battle in a Gym these days, but as long as there's something new for me to catch every once in a while, I'll still check in. The bug that crashes the game when I look through my friend list is highly annoying, though.
Still a daily player, trying to reach that all important level 40 milestone.
I haven’t been playing recently, but this is a mobile game I don’t really mind spending money on if I’ve played for at least seven hours that week. It meant I spent seven hours that week getting some exercise and the game was fun.
Only downloaded it this past weekend since I'm getting Let's Go Eevee. Won't be spending any money but has been fun and I am motivated to walk around the block a little more often
I hit the game hard the first year... Took about 6 months off and came back with a vengeance... I've spent about $25-30 dollars total on my 3 accounts and most of that was early on when I didn't know about the free coins from gyms. I can see why people spend tons of money but I don't mind not being able to hatch eggs all the time or use eggs more often than I do
