Infinity Nikki Reports Huge Earnings During First 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, solidifying its position as the most successful launch in the franchise. The game's December 2024 release quickly captivated players, driving significant in-app purchases of cosmetic items and gameplay enhancements.

Developed by Infold Games (Papergames in China), Infinity Nikki transports players to the magical world of Miraland, where they guide Nikki and her cat, Momo, on a whimsical adventure. The core gameplay revolves around dressing Nikki in outfits imbued with the power of Whimstars, magical elements crucial for solving puzzles and progressing through the game's diverse nations and cultures.

Pre-registration numbers reached an impressive 30 million, hinting at the game's potential before its official launch. AppMagic data (via Pocket Gamer) reveals a strong initial performance: $3.51 million in the first week, followed by $4.26 million and $3.84 million in the subsequent weeks. While weekly revenue dipped to $1.66 million by the fifth week, the cumulative total still reached nearly $16 million. This dwarfs the first-month earnings of Love Nikki ($383,000) and significantly outpaces Shining Nikki's international launch ($6.2 million).

China Plays a Key Role

China played a pivotal role in Infinity Nikki's success, accounting for over 5 million downloads (more than 42% of the total) and a substantial portion of the game's revenue. Daily revenue peaked at over $1.1 million on December 6th, immediately following launch. While daily earnings fluctuated afterward, reaching a low of $141,000 on December 26th, a Version 1.1 update on December 30th spurred a significant rebound, nearly tripling daily revenue to $665,000.

Available on PC, PlayStation 5, iOS, and Android, Infinity Nikki continues to thrive. The developers' commitment to ongoing seasonal events (like the Fishing Day Event) and regular updates ensures a consistently engaging experience for players. The game's remarkable financial success underscores its compelling gameplay and enduring appeal.
