Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/a> got a wave of new content last week, and this has helped the mobile game generate even more revenue.<\/p>\n

Niantic<\/a>\u2018s Google Maps-powered monster-catching mobile app is once again the No. 1 grossing iPhone game in the United States.\u00a0On Google Play, it is still No. 3 behind Game of War and Mobile Strike. This surge in spending comes after the studio updated\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon Go with over 80 new critters<\/a>\u00a0late last week. Prior to that major overhaul, the game was in the lower half of the top 10 on both Apple\u2019s and Android\u2019s app markets. But the game\u2019s return to the top of the chart proves the power of both regular content updates and the appeal of the\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon brand in the $36.6 billion mobile gaming market.<\/p>\n

\u201cPok\u00e9mon Go\u00a0hadn\u2019t been No. 1 in the U.S. since January 4 at the end of the New Year\u2019s event,\u201d Sensor Tower head of mobile insights Randy Nelson told GamesBeat. \u201cIt only got as high as No. 8 during the Valentine\u2019s event.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beyond the United States,\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon Go is also performing well in several other countries. It is No. 1 in Great Britain, Denmark, Ecuador, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Singapore, and Slovakia. But it\u2019s not seeing a similar surge in Japan, where it is only ranked No. 8 in terms of revenues. Japan has the highest average revenue per player in the world, and that is turning Nintendo\u2019s recently released Fire Emblem: Heroes into a massive success<\/a>. But that market has potentially moved on from\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon Go.<\/p>\n
