The launch of Genshin Impact bypassed mobile debuts such as Lineage II: Revolution, Fire Emblem Heroes, and Fortnite’s first 30 days on the App Store. However, Pokemon Go failed to catch up – the starting revenue of the project about pocket animals was $ 283 million.

On the App Store and Google Play, the game has also surpassed Honor of Kings ($ 216 million) and PUBG Mobile ($ 195 million) in revenue since its release. Notably, Genshin Impact data does not include Android sales in China. So the real picture can be even more impressive.

It is known that in China, the revenue of Genshin Impact was over $ 82 million, while in the United States – $ 45 million.

“Genshin Impact is a great example of how Chinese developers are doing well in the West, focusing on high production value, popular game mechanics, and deep pumping systems,” said Niko Partners analyst Daniel Ahmad. – The game feels and plays like a console game, but is ultimately shareware each project. The global success of Genshin Impact reflects the evolution of game development in China, from a contractor 15 years ago to full game development for the domestic market in recent years, and now to full game development that resonates both in the global markets and the domestic market. “

Genshin Impact is also announced for Nintendo Switch, but the release date of this version is unknown.
