Video Game ‘Genshin Impact’ Shatters Revenue Milestone
Genshin Impact is one of the most popular mobile games available, and they just surpassed a huge revenue milestone.
Genshin Impact, the popular action role-playing game by miHoYo, just surpassed the three billion-dollar mark for global player spending. Since its official launch in September 2020, the game has been hugely popular, amassing a huge number of players, cosplayers, and apparently, revenue.
Three Billion (With a “B”) Dollars Worldwide
In just the game’s first six months, the game has generated its first billion dollars. It has also averaged about a billion dollars per six months since then. Only a little more than a year and a half after its premier, Genshin Impact has earned three billion dollars worldwide.
This revenue comes from global player spending across digital markets including the App Store and Google Play. From regular updates, to gameplay, characters, features, and areas to explore, Genshin Impact manages to keep players coming back consistently and spending money. This pattern has helped the game become one of the highest revenue generating games globally, only calling behind titans of the industry like PUBG Mobile.
Who’s Playing Genshin Impact?
Of the top spenders in Genshin Impact, their Chinese audience generates the most revenue. That’s about $973 million dollars, or just over thirty percent of their worldwide earnings. The second highest market is in Japan with almost 24% of global spending. The United States is the game’s third highest revenue source, with American players making up just about twenty percent of global player spending.
It’s impossible to say what’s in store for the future of this game, but it feels safe to say that Genshin Impact won’t be going anywhere anytime soon. It’s available on Android, Windows, Playstaton, and Switch platforms. And there’s new characters coming out all of the time. Genshin is a game with lasting appeal and a proven way to keep their audience consistently coming back. Whether they can continue to make a billion dollars every six months or so remains to be seen. But if Genshin Impact kept up this pace for a while longer, we wouldn’t be surprised.
What Is Genshin Impact?
Released on September 28th, 2020, Genshin Impact is an open-world action role playing game. It can be played on a number of consoles, but is primarily a mobile game.
In Genshin, Players can control a party of four interchangeable characters using different skills, abilities, and weapons. Players can explore the world, complete challenges, and take on quests as they level up the world and collect new characters.
Known for a huge cast, colorful characters, and amazing costumes, Genshin Impact has taken off in popularity. Even if you haven’t played yourself, you’ve probably seen at least a few cosplays. And with consistent milestone earnings, it seems that this game won’t be going anywhere anytime soon.
