Infinity Nikki Soars in Earnings

Infinity Nikki's Phenomenal First Month: A $16 Million Success Story

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 a staggering 40 times, highlighting the game's 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, immediately 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-powered outfits fueled by Whimstars. This engaging blend of dress-up and puzzle-solving proved highly successful.

Initial revenue was exceptionally strong, with a peak of over $1.1 million on its second day.

AppMagic data (via Pocket Gamer) reveals impressive weekly earnings: $3.51 million in the first week, $4.26 million in the second, and $3.84 million in the third, before settling to $1.66 million in the fifth week. These figures, representing only mobile platform earnings, underscore the game's remarkable achievement.
