Pokémon GO

Released Jul 6, 2016
iOS DROID
AR Geo game

Pokémon GO remains the dominant force in mobile gaming over a decade after its 2016 launch. The location-based AR title pulled in $44.2 million during the first week of September alone, reclaiming its position as the world's top-grossing mobile game following its 10th anniversary celebration.

Recent months have brought a steady calendar of events and updates. September saw the "Mega Squads" event spotlight Maschiff, while October 2026 plans include a "Harvest Festival" event introducing Generation 9 shiny debuts and a Shadow Legendary encounter. However, player sentiment remains mixed - server reliability continues to be a friction point, and some community members have expressed frustration with what they view as aggressive monetization around popular creatures like Mewtwo, particularly following a weekend event that fell short of expectations.
