data.ai: Pokemon GO is #4 in the list of the most downloaded mobile games in the USA
Catching insights: Pokemon GO's position and performance.
The game has been downloaded 678 million times worldwide. This is the 18th-highest figure in history.
Currently, the game is ranked 16th worldwide by Monthly Active Users (MAU).
In the USA, the game has been downloaded by 164 million people. Only three games in history have more downloads - Subway Surfers, Candy Crush Saga, and Roblox. In terms of MAU, Pokemon GO is third in the USA.
However, since 2019, the game has lost 52% of its user engagement time. In the first half of 2019, on average, people played it for 13 hours and 30 minutes each month; in the first half of 2023, this figure dropped to 6 hours and 27 minutes.
There are several reasons for this decline: the end of the pandemic, increased competition (especially from Roblox). It's quite possible that some updates have also impacted user engagement as they forced backlash from the community.
