Infinity Nikki Reports Huge Earnings During First Month

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

Infinity Nikki, the latest installment in the popular Nikki series, has shattered expectations, generating nearly $16 million in mobile revenue during its first month. This surpasses previous Nikki titles by a staggering 40 times, highlighting its immense popularity. Developed by Infold Games (Papergames in China), the game launched in December 2024 and quickly captivated players worldwide. The impressive revenue stems from robust in-app purchases of cosmetic items, outfits, and other game features.

The game's captivating Miraland setting invites players to guide Nikki and her cat, Momo, on a whimsical adventure across diverse nations, each with unique cultures. While styling Nikki is central, her outfits possess magical powers crucial for solving puzzles and progressing through the story. These outfits, powered by Whimstars, allow Nikki to perform actions like floating and shrinking, adding a unique gameplay element.

Boasting 30 million pre-registrations, Infinity Nikki made a significant splash in the cozy open-world genre even before release. AppMagic data (via Pocket Gamer) reveals a strong launch week with $3.51 million in revenue, followed by $4.26 million and $3.84 million in subsequent weeks. While weekly revenue dipped to $1.66 million by the fifth week, the cumulative total still reached nearly $16 million. This eclipses Love Nikki's first-month revenue ($383,000) and significantly outperforms Shining Nikki's international launch ($6.2 million).

China's Crucial Role in Infinity Nikki's Triumph

China played a pivotal role in Infinity Nikki's success, accounting for over 5 million downloads (more than 42% of the total). This substantial contribution from the Chinese market solidified its position as a key driver of the game's financial achievement.

Post-Launch Performance and the Version 1.1 Boost

Following a strong initial day ($1.1 million in revenue on December 6th), daily revenue fluctuated. While it reached $787,000 by December 18th, it later dipped below $500,000 and hit a low of $141,000 on December 26th. However, the Version 1.1 update on December 30th sparked a resurgence, boosting revenue to $665,000 – nearly triple the previous day's earnings.

Availability and Future Plans

Infinity Nikki is available for free on PC, PlayStation 5, iOS, and Android. The developers are committed to sustaining the game's momentum through regular seasonal events (like the Fishing Day Event) and ongoing updates to enhance the player experience.
