Genshin Impact broke the game in 2020 and managed to seduce a very large community. Above all, the RPG is making big, big money for miHoyo. According to Sensor Tower's data, Genshin Impact mobile's revenues now amount to over 870 million dollars! A colossal sum that can be explained by the gacha game mechanics and in-game microtransactions . These figures already make your head spin when you also have to add the revenues generated on other platforms (Playstation, Nintendo Switch, Microsoft Windows).
Genshin Impact on the podium of mobile games
The RPG may be young, but it is still on the podium of the best-selling mobile games for the period September 2020 - February 2021. In front of it are PUBG mobile and Honor of Kings, which despite their bottle, can start to tremble. The Genshin Impact mobile revenues were impressive from the start: 17 million in 4 days, 60 million in one week, 245 million dollars in one month... The pace has slowed down slightly, but remains very steady! In comparison, the popular Pokémon GO has generated "only" 651 million and is a small player.
However, it should be noted that European players played a limited role in this commercial success. The three most profitable markets for Genshin Impact mobile are China (253 million), Japan (237 million) and the US (162 million). It should also be noted that iOS users were the biggest spenders, accounting for almost 60% of purchases, compared to 40% for Android players.
