Earnings Soar for Infinity Nikki in Inaugural Month

Infinity Nikki's Phenomenal First Month: Over $16 Million in Revenue

Infinity Nikki, the latest installment in the popular Nikki series, has shattered expectations, generating nearly $16 million in mobile revenue within its first month. This surpasses previous Nikki titles by a staggering 40 times, highlighting the game's immense popularity. Developed by Infold Games (Papergames in China), the December 2024 launch saw a rapid surge in player engagement and in-app purchases of cosmetics, outfits, and other features.

The game's captivating Miraland setting and unique gameplay, centered around Nikki and her cat Momo solving puzzles using magically-enhanced outfits, has resonated strongly with players. The 30 million pre-registrations underscored the anticipation leading up to launch. AppMagic data (via Pocket Gamer) reveals a strong initial performance: $3.51 million in week one, $4.26 million in week two, and $3.84 million in week three. While weekly revenue dipped to $1.66 million by week five, the cumulative total still reached nearly $16 million. This dwarfs the first-month revenue of Love Nikki ($383,000) and significantly outpaces Shining Nikki's 2021 international launch ($6.2 million).

China's Crucial Role in Infinity Nikki's Success

A key driver of Infinity Nikki's success is its reception in China, where downloads exceeded 5 million, representing over 42% of the total. This significant contribution underscores the game's strong appeal in the Chinese market.

Post-Launch Performance and Version 1.1 Update

Initial daily revenue peaked at over $1.1 million on December 6th, followed by a gradual decline. By December 18th, daily earnings reached $787,000. However, a dip below $500,000 on December 21st, reaching a low of $141,000 on December 26th, preceded a remarkable resurgence. The Version 1.1 update on December 30th boosted revenue to $665,000, almost tripling the previous day's earnings.

Availability and Future Plans

Infinity Nikki is available for free on PC, PlayStation 5, iOS, and Android. Infold Games plans to sustain the game's momentum through regular updates and seasonal events, such as the Fishing Day Event, ensuring continued player engagement.
