Pokemon GO

Pokémon GO remains the most successful real-world mobile game ever, generating over $6 billion in revenue and sustaining 80 million monthly players nearly a decade after launch. Using AR and GPS, Niantic turned the globe into a Pokémon-catching playground, driving unparalleled physical activity: in summer 2016 alone, strangers gathered in parks, businesses became PokeStops, and emergency rooms treated walking-related injuries. Its blend of nostalgia and fitness has made walking addictive for millions, proving that mobile gaming can transform habits rather than just fill time.
