Released in 2016, Pokémon GO became one of the most successful AR games ever, causing a significant cultural impact. It used GPS to allow players to capture virtual Pokémon that appeared in real-world locations.
It achieved massive success upon release, becoming one of the fastest apps to reach 100 million downloads and earning over $500 million in revenue in just two months.
The game was praised for promoting physical activity, as it requires players to walk to find and catch Pokémon. A study suggested that players of "Pokémon GO" walked collectively more than 8.7 billion kilometers in 2016.
