Genshin Impact hits 1 billion in earnings under six months

Genshin Impact has proven once again being a runaway success, hitting the 1 billion earnings mark for mobile alone in under six months of release. The numbers via Sensor Tower have estimated $874 million in the first five months from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, with player spending averaging around $160 million per month since December. As March ends, Genshin Impact‘s earnings stand at over $148 million, with Sensor Tower’s report saying the game is on track to hit its best month since October raked in $233.7 million. If that wasn’t already mind boggling, these numbers are strictly for mobile.

Rankings wise, Genshin is at a comfortable third place revenue earner on both iOS and Android stores behind PUBG Mobile and Honor of Kings in China. Outside of the country, it’s top grossing instead, amassing over $129 million internationally over the past 30 days. The game is undisputedly the top RPG both in and out of China with these numbers.
