Players in New Zealand are more engaged and invested than ever in Pokemon GO.

Ad tech company Qriously surveyed 1,178 peopled aged 13+ in New Zealand over the first weekend of August 2016 about their playing habits.

Comparing the results to its previous survey in July 2016, the survey found that 68% of the players who had tried the game initially are still playing it.

Engagement has actually increased, with 39% of remaining players playing the game five times or more a day, an increase of 13% over July's survey.

Paying and playing

In-game app spending has increased too, with 30% of respondents saying they had made a purchase. This compares to 17% in July.

Players are spending more money in-game too, with the proportion of high spenders nearly doubling.
