After a long summer of mastering Pokémon GO, the game Clash Royale has regained first place in the ranking of the most profitable mobile applications, leaving behind the augmented reality game from Niantic For many, this means that Pokémon GO could become a fad instead of a long-term hit game, as Clash Royale is proving to be

Clash Royale dethrones Pokémon GO in profitability

The video game Pokémon GO for smartphones has broken records since its launch, both in number of downloads and active users, as well as in purchases made through the application. However, it seems that the latest updates are still not up to what fans expected, and little by little many players have been losing their initial enthusiasm.

This has resulted in a new rise of Clash Royale, another great video game that has been sweeping players and sales almost since its launch (in March of this year) and which now once again occupies the first position in the lists of most profitable mobile applications.

In third place we find Pokémon GO, with 74 consecutive days, and finally Clash Royale , in fourth position, with 32 accumulated days at number 1.

These data confirm that the really difficult thing is not to reach the top of the most profitable applications, but to stay at the top for long periods. The fundamental problem is that users get tired or bored of always playing the same game if the application does not offer interesting new features in their applications.

This could be the reason for the significant drop in Pokémon GO, since the updates have not introduced significant changes or have not known meet the demands of users on time.
