The Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games kicked off on July 23 and will continue until August 8 with covid restrictions in place and no audience allowed in the stadiums, which has led many fans to download olympic-related apps with streaming rights, such as the official Olympics app and Peacock.
As a result, downloads of streaming apps with rights increased 13 times during the first week of the games, according to the latest data from App Annie.
During the first 3 days of the event, downloads of the Olympics app were up 2270% in China, 1750% in South Korea and 940% in India.
App Annie said that the official app has seen a steady growth in downloads over the last two months as the world was getting ready for the Olympics and saw its peak on Sunday July 25 when it generated 325,000 new daily downloads.
