January 2025's Top Earning Gacha Games Revealed

Gacha game enthusiasts are always keen on tracking the financial performance of their favorite titles, and the latest figures for January 2025 have sparked quite a buzz. Last month, Genshin Impact rolled out a major update featuring the archon of pyro and the highly anticipated Mawuika banner, which significantly boosted its earnings. The miHoYo (HoYoverse) sensation saw its revenues soar to an impressive $99.4 million, effectively doubling its December 2024 earnings of $45.6 million.

In the revenue race, Pokemon TCG secured the second spot with a commendable $64 million, while the beloved "female gacha" game, Love and Deepspace, clinched third place with $55.2 million. Meanwhile, Honkai Star Rail experienced a dip in earnings, reaching $50.8 million, and Zenless Zone Zero saw its revenue cut in half from $57.9 million to $26.3 million.

It's important to note that these rankings only reflect earnings from mobile platforms, although some games like those from miHoYo are also available on PC. A key point in the data calculation is the method used for China: "Since Google Play does not exist in China, the estimates published for Android data in China are determined using a multiplier based on iOS revenue in the country."
