Infinity Nikki Announces Massive First-Month Earnings

Infinity Nikki Shatters Revenue Records with Stellar First-Month Performance

Infinity Nikki, the latest entry in the beloved Nikki series developed by Infold Games (known as Papergames in China), has made an unprecedented impact in the mobile gaming industry. Launched in December 2024, the game amassed a staggering nearly $16 million in mobile game profits within its first month. This remarkable figure overshadows the revenue of its predecessors in the Nikki franchise by over 40 times, marking it as the most successful launch to date. Infinity Nikki's financial triumph is primarily fueled by in-app purchases, which include an array of cosmetic items, outfits, and various game features that enhance the player's experience.

Set in the enchanting world of Miraland, Infinity Nikki follows the journey of Nikki and her adorable cat companion, Momo. Players are invited to explore diverse nations, each boasting unique cultures and habitats. Central to the gameplay is the art of dressing up, where Nikki's outfits, empowered by the magical energy of Whimstars, grant her abilities like floating, gliding, and shrinking. These abilities are crucial for solving puzzles and navigating the game's challenges.

The game's success was evident even before its public release, with an impressive 30 million pre-registrations, positioning Infinity Nikki as a dominant force in the cozy open-world genre. According to data from AppMagic (via Pocket Gamer), the game's mobile earnings alone showcase its extraordinary performance. In its launch week, Infinity Nikki raked in $3.51 million, followed by $4.26 million in the second week, and $3.84 million in the third. By the fifth week, the weekly revenue had tapered to $1.66 million, yet the total first-month earnings neared $16 million. This achievement not only dwarfs Love Nikki's first-month revenue of $383,000 but also significantly outpaces Shining Nikki's international launch earnings of $6.2 million in 2021.

Infinity Nikki's Market Domination Driven by China

A significant portion of Infinity Nikki's success can be attributed to its strong performance in China, where the game garnered over 5 million downloads. This accounts for over 42% of the total downloads, firmly establishing China as a key driver of the game's financial success.

Following its launch, Infinity Nikki's mobile revenue peaked at over $1.1 million on December 6, just a day after its release. Although daily earnings gradually declined, the game still managed to generate $787,000 by December 18, marking the end of its second week. The decline continued, with daily revenue falling below $500,000 for the first time on December 21 and reaching a low of $141,000 on December 26. However, a significant surge followed the release of the Version 1.1 update, with daily revenue jumping to $665,000 on December 30, nearly tripling the previous day's earnings of $234,000.

Continued Engagement and Future Prospects

Infinity Nikki is available for free across multiple platforms, including PC, PlayStation 5, iOS, and Android, offering potential players easy access to its captivating world. The developers at Infold Games are dedicated to sustaining the game's momentum through regular updates and seasonal events, such as the Infinity Nikki's Fishing Day Event. These initiatives are designed to keep the player base engaged and enrich their overall experience.

With its record-breaking first-month earnings and a strong foundation in China, Infinity Nikki is poised to continue its dominance in the mobile gaming market. The game's unique blend of fashion, adventure, and magical elements has clearly resonated with players worldwide, setting a new benchmark for the Nikki series and the cozy open-world genre as a whole.
