The mobile version of Genshin Impact has already generated $ 3 billion in revenues worldwide. The impressive result has been achieved since September 2020, which is about 1 million per six months.
The estimates were provided by the analytical company Sensor Tower, and it is worth emphasizing that we are talking only about versions for Android and iOS. At the same time, the title was also released on PC and PlayStation consoles.
As calculated, Genshin Impact generates the most revenue in China, where only the view for Apple hardware accounts for less than 31 percent of the global total. Japan came second with 23.7 percent and the USA with 19.7 percent.
Where does the huge money come from in the case of a free title? The secret is in the gacha genre, the digital payment system. The best weapons and characters should be “pulled out” using a random wish system, translating into considerable costs.
MiHoYo earned at least $ 2.1 billion in its first year on the market. Currently, developers are having problems releasing the next update, as Shanghai – where the headquarters is located – is still locked down.
