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

Infinity Nikki, the latest installment in the popular Nikki series, has shattered expectations, generating nearly $16 million in mobile game revenue within its first month. This surpasses previous Nikki titles by an astounding 40 times, highlighting its immense popularity. The game's success is largely attributed to its strong performance in China, where it garnered 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 compelling gameplay. Players guide Nikki and her cat, Momo, through diverse nations, solving puzzles and overcoming challenges using magically-enhanced outfits powered by Whimstars. The core dressing-up mechanic is interwoven with a captivating narrative.

Impressive Early Performance and Post-Update Surge

Infinity Nikki's initial launch was exceptionally strong, earning $3.51 million in its first week alone, followed by $4.26 million and $3.84 million in the subsequent weeks. While weekly revenue eventually decreased to $1.66 million by the fifth week, the cumulative total still reached a remarkable $16 million within the first month. This success significantly outpaces both Love Nikki's ($383,000) and Shining Nikki's ($6.2 million) first-month earnings. The game also achieved 30 million pre-registrations, demonstrating significant pre-launch anticipation. Note that these figures reflect only mobile platform earnings.

Daily revenue initially peaked at over $1.1 million on December 6th, before experiencing a gradual decline. However, a Version 1.1 update on December 30th triggered a substantial revenue surge to $665,000, nearly tripling the previous day's earnings.

China's Crucial Role in Infinity Nikki's Triumph

China played a pivotal role in Infinity Nikki's financial success, accounting for over 42% of total downloads. This underscores the game's strong appeal within the Chinese market.

Available Across Multiple Platforms

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