Pokemon Go creator and CEO of Niantic Labs, John Hanke, revealed at MWC that players of the hit AR mobile game have caught a total of 88 billion monsters since launch. In order to achieve this goal, players have used a mind-boggling 44 petabytes of mobile data (1 petabyte = 1000 terabytes), and have walked a total of 5.4 billion miles while chasing Pokemon.
Other interesting numbers that Hanke shared at MWC include a total of 650 million downloads for Pokemon Go across all platforms, and over 35,000 retail locations worldwide that have become sponsored locations for the game, receiving a total of 500 million visits by players.
"We’ll be launching a new version of our original game, Ingress, later this year and we have some other projects that unfortunately I can't talk about today," Hanke said at the event, reassuring fans that more will be known in the coming months.
Ingress has been downloaded a total of 200 million times, while its devoted fanbase has walked a total of 214 million miles while capturing portals.
