Infinity Nikki Reports Huge Earnings During First Month

Summary

• Infinity Nikki shattered expectations, generating nearly $16 million in its first month—a figure over 40 times greater than previous Nikki series releases.
• China fueled this phenomenal success, contributing over 5 million downloads.
• While daily revenue fluctuated after a strong initial launch (over $1.1 million on day one), a Version 1.1 update sparked a significant resurgence.

Infinity Nikki, the latest installment in the popular Nikki dress-up game series from Infold Games (Papergames in China), launched in December 2024 and immediately captivated the mobile gaming world. This enchanting journey through Miraland, featuring Nikki and her cat Momo, combines captivating storytelling with the core appeal of stylish outfits. These aren't just clothes; they're magical tools, imbued with Whimstar energy, enabling Nikki to navigate puzzles and challenges through unique abilities like floating and shrinking. The game's stunning success is directly reflected in its impressive first-month revenue of nearly $16 million from in-app purchases of cosmetics, outfits, and other features.

Boosted by a massive 30 million pre-registrations, Infinity Nikki made a significant splash in the cozy open-world genre even before its release. AppMagic data (via Pocket Gamer) reveals a remarkable performance, although these figures only account for mobile platform earnings, excluding PlayStation 5 and Windows PC revenue. The game's launch week alone saw $3.51 million in revenue, followed by $4.26 million and $3.84 million in the second and third weeks, respectively. While weekly revenue tapered to $1.66 million by the fifth week, the cumulative total still reached nearly $16 million within the first month. This represents a massive leap for the franchise, exceeding Love Nikki's first-month revenue of $383,000 by more than 40 times and significantly outperforming Shining Nikki's 2021 international launch, which generated $6.2 million in its first month.

Infinity Nikki Breaks Records with Massive First-Month Earnings

China played a pivotal role in Infinity Nikki's triumph, accounting for over 5 million downloads (more than 42% of the total) and solidifying its position as a key market for the game's financial success.

Following a record-breaking launch day with over $1.1 million in mobile revenue on December 6th, daily earnings gradually decreased. By December 18th (end of week two), the game still generated $787,000. However, the decline accelerated, dipping below $500,000 on December 21st and hitting a low of $141,000 on December 26th. The release of the Version 1.1 update on December 30th, however, revitalized revenue, surging to $665,000—nearly triple the previous day's earnings of $234,000.

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