Pokémon Go, launched in 2016 by Niantic Labs and The Pokémon Company, remains a leading mobile AR game. While its initial peak was much higher, it consistently maintains high active daily users due to ongoing events, strong brand recognition, and global reach. High engagement is reinforced through regular content updates and seasonal events, although numbers have declined from their 2016–2017 peak.

Estimated Daily Players

~150 thousand

We estimate that AFK Journey has currently around 150k players daily.

AFK Journey launched in early 2024 from Farlight Games, building on the popularity of the AFK Arena franchise. It is a cross-platform, casual strategy/adventure RPG with significant mobile presence and active social media. Given its newness, high profile in the mobile gaming space, and ongoing updates/events, daily active players are likely robust, with around 150,000 being a reasonable estimate at mid-2024.
