Pokémon Go revenue spikes as game continues to adjust for COVID-19

Pokémon GO just saw its best week yet in 2020, despite growing lockdowns and shelter-in-place orders worldwide.
According to information shared by Sensor Tower, Niantic's location-based adventure earned nearly $23 million in gross revenue last week, showing week-over-week growth of 67%.
That is likely in part due to a major in-game event last week, but seems to be additionally supported by recent changed made to the game to make it easier to play while staying at home to avoid the spread of COVID-19.
Sensor Tower additionally reports that last week's total accounted for 13% of all total revenue earned in 2020 thus far, with US spending accounting for 34% of the total.
