Genshin Impact's stable dominance

Genshin Impact sales peaked in October 2020. They recorded a monthly revenue of roughly $234 million. It has since gone down, but the title has maintained a stable $150 million in revenue during the last three months.

China is still the number one destination where Genshin Impact is popular. $253 million was generated through China's app store. Another $620 million was made by miHoYo outside China.

Japan recorded the second-largest sales numbers. The United States had the third largest.

The game is still considered young. It's been less than a year since it was globally released. But critics and fans expect Genshin Impact to continue its popularity in the time to come. An increase in popularity is expected to boost revenue as well.
