Infinity Nikki Earns Record Profits in Launch Month

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

Infinity Nikki, the latest installment in the popular Nikki series, has shattered revenue records, generating nearly $16 million in its first month. This surpasses previous Nikki game launches by a significant margin, exceeding Love Nikki's first-month revenue by over 40 times. The game's success is largely attributed to its strong performance in China, where it achieved over 5 million downloads.

Developed by Infold Games (Papergames in China), Infinity Nikki launched in December 2024, captivating players with its enchanting Miraland setting and unique gameplay. Players guide Nikki and her cat, Momo, through diverse nations, solving puzzles and overcoming challenges using magically-enhanced outfits powered by Whimstars. The game's pre-registration numbers reached an impressive 30 million, indicating strong anticipation before its release.

AppMagic data (via Pocket Gamer) reveals a remarkable trajectory: $3.51 million in the first week, $4.26 million in the second, and $3.84 million in the third. While weekly revenue dipped to $1.66 million by the fifth week, the cumulative total still reached a staggering $16 million. This success significantly outpaces Shining Nikki's international launch, which earned $6.2 million in its first month. It's important to note that these figures reflect mobile platform earnings only, excluding revenue from the PC and PlayStation 5 versions.

A Closer Look at the Numbers:

Infinity Nikki's daily revenue peaked at over $1.1 million on December 6th, its second day. While daily earnings subsequently decreased, 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.

China's contribution to Infinity Nikki's success is undeniable, accounting for over 42% of total downloads. This highlights the game's strong appeal within the Chinese market.

Infinity Nikki is available for free on iOS, Android, PC, and PlayStation 5. The developers plan to sustain the game's popularity through regular updates and seasonal events, ensuring continued engagement for players.
