MZ’s city-builder-slash-battler Final Fantasy XV: A New Empire made an average of $1 million per day throughout November.

That’s according to Sensor Tower, which reports that the mobile title earned roughly $30 million through November across both the App Store and Google Play.

42 per cent of player spend came from the United States, the game’s largest audience, with Japan following in second with 28 per cent.

Platform distribution is roughly equal, with iOS eking out a slight majority at approximately 52 per cent to Google Play’s 48 per cent.

Not quite final

Sensor Tower likewise reports that in total, A New Empire has earned over $485 million in lifetime revenue worldwide.

In August, we reported that the city-builder earned $380 million in one year alone. But in June, it was revealed that the developer had laid off 125 employees after shutting down ad-tech branch Cognant.
