GeoGuessr, a browser-based game, has experienced an enormous surge in popularity due to Trevor Rainbolt and his entertaining videos on GeoGuessr. By using just Google Maps Street View information alone, Rainbolt quickly geolocates random locations while captivating audiences as he easily recognizes specific buildings, foliage or even patches of dirt – as reported by The Information. As a result, its userbase has reached 65 Million Users!
- On Sunday, the inaugural GeoGuessr World Cup tournament took place, drawing 24 top players from all around the globe. Rainbolt made his mark as a commentator – further cementing his place among its stars – while this event showcased GeoGuessr as an exciting esports activity with real competitive potential.
- GeoGuessr’s success extends well beyond user numbers; the game has experienced an incredible financial surge as well. In 2019, GeoGuessr generated just $500,000 in revenue, but by 2019 that figure had skyrocketed to more than $18 million due primarily to subscription revenue from premium versions – these account for roughly 80% of revenue generated through monthly subscription fees alone!
