Pokémon Sleep, the innovative sleep-tracking app that allows users to catch ’em all in their dreams, has proven to be a financial success in its first year. According to data from AppMagic recently published by PocketGamer.Biz, the app has generated an impressive $100 million in revenue. The majority of this revenue, $73 million to be exact, has been contributed by users in Japan. Following closely behind are users in the US, bringing in $17 million, and Taiwan with $4 million in revenue.
It comes as no surprise that in-app spending has surged during special Pokémon Sleep events such as the Raiku Research event and seasonal celebrations. The Holiday 2023 event was highlighted as the app’s most lucrative week, raking in a substantial $4 million in just seven days. These spikes in revenue demonstrate the app’s ability to engage users and encourage spending through strategic events and promotions.
In terms of user engagement, Pokémon Sleep has amassed an estimated 9.8 million downloads in its first year. Japan leads the pack in terms of downloads, accounting for 44% of the total downloads. North America follows closely behind with 17%, while Taiwan secures the third spot with 7% of the downloads. While these numbers may pale in comparison to the staggering success of Pokémon GO, which rakes in $1 billion annually, $100 million in revenue is certainly a commendable feat for a sleep-tracking app.
As Pokémon Sleep gears up to celebrate its first anniversary, the app is currently hosting a ‘gift week’ where users can earn bonus Sleep Points by logging in daily. This celebration underscores the app’s commitment to engaging and rewarding its user base. Fans can expect more exciting announcements related to the anniversary event, with further information set to be unveiled on the @PokemonSleep Twitter account.
The success of Pokémon Sleep’s first year is a testament to its unique concept, engaging features, and strategic marketing initiatives. With a loyal user base and a proven track record of generating significant revenue, Pokémon Sleep is poised for continued success in the future. As the app evolves and introduces new features and events, it is likely to attract even more users and further solidify its position in the competitive mobile app market.
