data.ai: Genshin Impact became the fastest game in history to earn $5B on mobile devices
Tech otakus conquered the world!
It took the game 40 months to achieve this milestone since its release in September 2020. The previous record was held by Clash of Clans (51 months).
It's important to note that the calculation does not include Chinese Android stores, so the actual figure is even higher. Genshin Impact earned nearly $1.5 billion on iOS alone in China, accounting for 30% of its revenue.
In Japan, Genshin Impact earned $1.06 billion (21% of total revenue); in the United States, it earned $903 million (18%).
Currently, there are only 13 games worldwide that have crossed the $5 billion revenue mark. Before Genshin Impact, Gardenscapes achieved this milestone, taking the game 91 months.
