Genshin Impact Sets Record with $5 Billion Revenue Milestone

Genshin Impact, the popular RPG from developer HoYoverse, has achieved a groundbreaking milestone, amassing 5 billion USD in consumer spending faster than any other mobile game in history, a report from Data.ai reveals. Achieving this feat in just 40 months since its launch in September 2020, Genshin Impact outpaced previous record-holder Clash of Clans, which took 51 months to reach the same revenue figure.

The analysis, which focused on in-game purchases across Apple's App Store and Google Play, highlighted China as the leading market for Genshin Impact, contributing approximately 30% (1.5 billion USD) of the total revenue. Japan followed with $1.06 billion, and the US ranked third, accounting for 903 million USD of consumer spending.

According to Data.ai, only 13 mobile titles have ever surpassed the 5 billion USD revenue mark through these platforms, marking Genshin Impact's achievement as a significant landmark in mobile gaming history.
