“Genshin Impact” Ascends to Become the Fourth Highest-Grossing Mobile Game in January

Genshin Impact continues to remain in the top five spots of the highest-grossing mobile game for January after losing its third position to the Fate/ Grand Order.

According to the study and report by Sensortower, with over $153 million generated from in-game transactions, Genshin Impact is ranked fourth in the list of top-grossing mobile games for the month.

Revenue Timeline

After a tremendously successful launch in late September 2020, Genshin Impact collected $100 million in two weeks. Continuing performance on the mobile platform, Genshin Impact generated $163 million in December to secure its position in the top three as usual.

However, in January, revenue seemed to be slightly subpar. The game accumulated over $153.4 million worldwide. In this, Japan gave the most with 33% of the total player spendings in January 2021.

China and the US continue to add the second and third highest amounts of revenue to the game with 25.7% and 17.4%. Despite Genshin Impact‘s global hit, 74.2% of its player spending comes from Asia.

Honor of Kings from @TencentGlobal was once again the top earning #mobile game globally in January 2021 with $267M in player spending, a 22% increase from January 2020. It topped the likes of @PUBGMOBILE, @FateGO_USA, and #GenshinImpact: https://t.co/yJF3d6Xr5P #mobilegames pic.twitter.com/tXipTbjluX

Due to a dip in earnings, the game lost a rank in the overall leaderboard and Android and iOS rankings. In January 2021, Genshin Impact placed fourth (was third in December) in the top-grossing games on the App Store and fifth (was fourth in December) in the top-grossing games on Google’s Play Store.
