Now Playing: Pikmin Bloom Game Overview
To compare this to Niantic's other two licensed games, Pokemon Go and Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, Pikmin is doing relatively well for being a much smaller property. According to Sensor Tower, Pokemon Go hit 75 million downloads in the same time frame and Harry Potter: Wizards Unite was downloaded 12.4 million times. In terms of revenue, Pikmin Bloom has generated $437,000 so far, with Pokemon Go hitting $116 million and Wizards Unite hitting $8 million in that same period. It seems reasonable that expectations for Pikmin Bloom were likely lower than both of those games due to it being a smaller IP.
Pokemon Go has gone on to hit one billion downloads as of July 2019. Harry Potter: Wizards Unite has seemingly trended in the other direction, with Niantic announcing that the game will be shutting down on January 31, 2022.
