When it comes todaily active users, 8 percent of the population of Australia played Pokémon Go on July 11th, with that number falling at 6.6 percent in New Zealand, and 5.9 percent in the United States. The study also compares Pokémon Go’s numbers to other major mobile titles like Clash of Clans, which has been installed on 5 percent of all Android devices in the United States.
