Pokémon Go's monthly earnings have plummeted to their lowest in five years. The drop coincides with Niantic's controversial changes to its Remote Raid system.
Last year the game grossed $703 million in total, an average of $58 million per month, so April’s figures are well below average. Indeed, according to the report, the $34.7 million figure is the game’s lowest monthly revenue since February 2018.
Remote Raids were introduced early during the COVID-19 pandemic as a way for players to take part in Raids without leaving their home. Niantic explained that this was “a necessary step toward [its] goal of preserving and improving the unique experience of playing Pokémon Go”, saying: “Remote Raid Passes have come to dominate the experience of playing Pokémon Go in a way we never intended.
