Infinity Nikki Reports Huge Earnings During First Month

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 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. Its success stems from lucrative in-app purchases of cosmetic items, outfits, and other features.

Set in the captivating world of Miraland, Infinity Nikki follows Nikki and her cat, Momo, on a whimsical adventure across diverse nations. While styling Nikki is a core element, her outfits possess magical abilities crucial to solving puzzles and progressing through the storyline. These outfits are powered by Whimstars, tangible representations of inspiration.

Boasting 30 million pre-registrations, Infinity Nikki's impact on the cozy open-world genre was significant even before launch. AppMagic data (via Pocket Gamer) reveals impressive weekly earnings: $3.51 million in its first week, $4.26 million in the second, and $3.84 million in the third. While weekly revenue decreased to $1.66 million by the fifth week, the cumulative total still reached nearly $16 million. This dwarfs the first-month revenue of Love Nikki ($383,000) and significantly outperforms Shining Nikki's 2021 international launch ($6.2 million). It's important to note that these figures only reflect mobile platform earnings.

Infinity Nikki's Record-Breaking Success

China played a pivotal role in Infinity Nikki's success, contributing over 5 million downloads (more than 42% of the total) and significantly boosting its financial performance.

Post-launch, daily revenue peaked at over $1.1 million on December 6th. While daily earnings subsequently declined, reaching a low of $141,000 on December 26th, the Version 1.1 update on December 30th triggered a substantial surge to $665,000, almost tripling the previous day's revenue.

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