Pokemon Go cinches 75 million downloads - CNET

While you're out trying to catch them all, Pokémon Go is breaking records left and right.

The instantly popular app has been downloaded 75 million times, according to Sensor Tower, a mobile app analytics group. Pokémon Go hit its first 50 million in just 19 days, far surpassing other mega hit games from the last two years.

The numbers are impressive. Color Switch took 77 days and Candy Crush Jelly Saga took 112. The app made it to the top of the App Store's downloads and revenue rankings in every country where it's available. Niantic, the developer of Pokémon Go, achieved this fame without being featured on the App Store or Google Play and with little of its own advertising, according to Sensor Tower.

The app now holds the record for the most mobile game downloads in the first month after launch, even though its only in 32 out of the 100 countries that host the App Store and Google Play, Sensor Tower said. Pokémon Go expanded to Australia and New Zealand on July 5 and in Hong Kong and France in late July.

Niantic did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
