What fed this analysis
A high-profile competitor in the location-based AR space that leverages a massive narrative-driven brand to capture player attention.
Strong contender in the location-adjacent survival genre with high-frequency updates and a proven, long-term live-ops model.
Adjacent utility-focused geolocation app that shares the 'explore the real world' value proposition but lacks the combat-game layer.
