Monopoly Go! became the biggest mobile game launch of 2023, generating $1 billion in revenue according to Scopely.[3]

Gameplay

Monopoly Go! is mobile board game game that mixes elements of the classic Monopoly board game with some light mid-core mechanics. It's not a Monopoly adaption; instead, it's a quick-witted, tap-based game where players compete with one another while amassing properties and making rent.

Reception

Reviewers criticized various aspects of Monopoly Go!. Rachel Mogan from Android Central praised the game's appealing visuals, smooth gameplay, and impressive sound. However, the issue lies in the unmistakable fact that Monopoly Go! is evidently one of the numerous mobile games crafted solely to maximize its financial gains.[4] Writing for Destructoid, CJ Andriessen criticized the game for having intrusive in-game ads.[5]

Sales

Scopely has announced that Monopoly Go has generated more than $1 billion in revenue, becoming the biggest mobile game launch of 2023. Scopely also added that Monopoly Go is bringing in more than $200 million every month for the company.[6]
