Fate/Grand Order Has Surpassed the $3 Billion Revenue Mark

Sony has got some celebrating to do as their mobile hit Fate/Grand Order has surpassed three billion dollars in revenue this year. The news comes from Sensor Tower, who primarily track news and numbers regarding mobile games, as they tracked the game's success over the past few years to show they're not just one of the biggest around, they're one of the most successful with few surpassing them. Fate/Grand Order is still ranked #2 overall in revenue last month sitting behind online Pokémon GO for the top slot. Here's a little from the report to put their success in perspective.

To put Fate/Grand Order's success into perspective, that figure is the equivalent of a PlayStation 4 title selling 50 million copies at $60. It's also five times what the most successful PS4 game to date, Horizon: Zero Dawn, would have grossed on its 10 million copies at full retail price.

As for where this spending is ocurring, it's unsurprising that 82 percent has come from players in Japan, which translates into $2.46 billion of the total. Another $360 million, or 12 percent, has come from iOS users in China. The United States actually ranks third—albeit a distant one—for spending in the game so far, at 3 percent of the gross amount, or about $90 million. This is still a significant amount of revenue for a market where the title's source material is considerably less well-known than in Asian territories.
