Scopely announced that Monopoly Go<\/a> has generated $2 billion in revenue just 10 months after launch and three months after hitting $1 billion.<\/p>

The reimagined take on Hasbro’s iconic board game has garnered a massive player base, solidifying its place as a beloved, highly engaging title in the free-to-play market.<\/p>

Apple can pay the $500M class-action settlement over Tim Cook’s alleged defrauding of shareholders (by hiding iPhone demand issues in China) more or less with what they extracted from Scopely’s Monopoly Go in 10 months.

With its $6 billion in IAP revenue, TikTok generated more than double the revenue from any other app or game in 2024. Monopoly GO, for example, came in at $2.6 billion over the past year, earning second place.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

The Monopoly GO mobile game making $2.6 billion a year from in-app purchases is nuts. This is likely more than the board game ever made in single year sales.<\/p>

Also wild that 30% of that goes straight to Google & Apple before taxes. For TikTok, that’s almost $2 billion in App Store fees. 😭<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
