According to analyst Daniel Ahmad and the data at Sensor Tower, Genshin Impact has already doubled its revenue to $100 million in less than two weeks.
Ahmad also added that China, Japan, Korea, and the US are the biggest markets for the game, with Sensor Tower reporting it’s the second highest-grossing title globally on iOS in its first week since launch:
Previously, the game earned $50 million in less than a week since starting operations with 17 million downloads just on mobile platforms.
Genshin Impact is available as a free-to-play downloadable title with gacha-style microtransactions for Android, iOS, and the PlayStation 4.
Too bad the game is super incomplete. 2nd area storyline just stops midway. Multiplayer is the worst possible design ever (you are basically limited to 15 minutes per day).
lol as expected from a gacha game the game will never be complete
its just how gacha games are
Gabe Newell said releasing games finished was bad
No, this is worse than standard. The story just stops mid arc with no warning. One minute you’re running a boring fetch quest back and forth across the city and when the plot finally looks like it’s progressing a big “to be continued” pops up.
Well, is incomplete by design … just like any other F2P
How much IQ effort is in your comment?
As always with West Taiwan, there’s a catch. Thanks for the heads up, will be avoiding this s♥♥t
Rya you son of a prostitute.
I don’t get why you people are falling for this bootleg Chinese gacha MMORPG. You sure like funding commies, selling your data and continuing to help China f♥♥k over everyone else besides itself.
The people who live in China are not the CCP. It’s fine to hate the CCP for all of the evil they committed, but extending that to ordinary citizens is just plain evil. Tetris was created behind the iron curtain of the soviet union, and the guy who made it is the most base human to ever live.
I heard Japan is spending the most. They are insanely weak to gacha.
you’re just bitter you got bad rolls. Just git good
Imagine defending a 0.6% drop rate.
Imagine going to the “details” section in every banner before triggering s♥♥t
Well, still in development. Need more maintenances and updates (??)
I’m not even into this one to be honest. I like the other one better, even though complicated stories…..
ι(｀ロ´)ノ
The story will continue through updates. New story chapters in 1.1 update and so on. Reisin cap is pretty dumb tho but I’m sure due to community popular demand they’ll rework it along with more ways to earn premium currency for pulls.
The sad state of gaming. The game is very fun, very polished and it will be hailed as a success no doubt…but thats only because of the whales. The game has nothing for f2p or low payers, you get to AR30, do your daily for 15mins and you stare at your screen unless you pay for the most ridiculous system in years: Resin.
Yeah Im waiting for another game dev to take the concept and actually make one that caters to PC/Console gamers, not fking mobile normies that dont know any better.
Shows that you never really played the game rofl… you 100% haven’t cleared the content and seem to forget that this game isn’t made to be a 24/7 game
You think it’s a good thing if you’re done playing a game after 15min. If you’re going to play for such a low amount of time you might as well use that time to do push up and get healthier, it’s better for yourself in the long run.
Then just play another thing and come back when the new update comes … I fail to see the problem. You are not paying for a monthly subscription (like Wow or FF14), so don’t be entitled. If you don’t like it, don’t play it.
No one man should have all that power.
Not that shocking since at some point the grind for the in game currency is ridiculous.
this is not surprising in the least the game is amazing all it needs now is some fixes and the road map for updates for this game is already looking very nice
so yeah these numbers shouldnt be a surprise MiHoYo always amazing
Yeah, pay to win gear/characters with a 0.6% drop rate. Even Azur Lane has an 8% drop rate. This game is designed to take advantage of people with a gambling addiction. If they made it more f2p friendly, or even somewhat sane with the drop rates and progression, people other than whales might actually play this game when it eventually gets stale in 6 months.
Most experienced gacha players know drop rates are abysmal at the launch of any game. Most banners are bait, and are often avoided to horde freebies until good banners roll around. Much like MiHoYo’s previous game Honkai Impact, costs will be reduced, systems will be reworked, player protections an advantages will be added in. But starting out, you never ever fall for the launch bait banners.
Younger me learned my lesson, $50 that pretty much went down the drain with only shitty 3* equipment to show for it.
Too bad they kept the same gatcha system in this game, and people still flock to these types of games. The only reason this game is popular is most of its budget went to Graphics and advertising. Game is a blatant COPY of BOTW anyways.
