Studio Space Ape Games celebrated a new milestone. Her Beatstar rhythm music game has earned over $100 million since its global release in September 2021.
In an interview with the MobileGamer portal, the co-founder of Space Ape Games, Simon Hade, admitted that at first the studio was not sure of the success of the title. The developers doubted that Beatstar would surpass their other game, TRANSFORMERS: Earth Wars, at the box office. The latter took six years to reach $100 million.
Haid said that at the start Beatstar earned “normally”, but less than the studio wanted. The situation changed dramatically after Space Ape Games added a season pass Tour Pass and events to the game, as well as optimized advertising. Now Beatstar is the most successful game in the Space Ape Games portfolio.
