"Star Wars, Mandalorian Join Monopoly Go"

Mobile gaming sensation Monopoly GO! is set to elevate its gameplay experience with a thrilling collaboration—this time bringing the iconic universe of Star Wars into the mix. Announced today at Star Wars Celebration in Japan, this limited-time event will run from May 1 to July 2, blending the magic of the Skywalker Saga and The Mandalorian with the familiar charm of Monopoly GO!.

This intergalactic crossover season introduces a variety of themed content that’s sure to excite fans of both franchises. Players can look forward to collecting stickers for the all-new Star Wars GO! album, experiencing high-octane podracing action in the Mos Espa Grand Arena, and unlocking exclusive in-game items such as tokens, shields, and emojis inspired by the Star Wars universe.

Among the highlights is the quirky visual treat of seeing classic Star Wars characters like Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Princess Leia, Han Solo, R2-D2, Yoda, Anakin Skywalker, and Qui-Gon Jinn hanging out with Mr. Monopoly (aka Rich Uncle Pennybags), reimagined in adorable cartoon form.

This isn’t the first time Monopoly GO! has ventured into cross-franchise territory—in September 2023, Marvel superheroes like Spider-Man, Wolverine, and the Avengers joined the fun in a similarly styled mashup.

In other major developments, publisher Scopely recently expanded its reach by acquiring the development teams behind popular AR titles Pokémon GO, Pikmin Bloom, and Monster Hunter Now as part of a strategic partnership with Niantic.

According to data reported by our sister site, GamesIndustry.biz, Monopoly GO! was crowned the top-grossing mobile game globally in 2024, generating an impressive $2.47 billion in player spending. That same year also saw the game reach 150 million downloads, with over 10 million daily active users logging in regularly.

With the Star Wars crossover now live, it's clear that Monopoly GO! shows no signs of slowing down.
