According to Sensor Tower, the free-to-play game Genshin Impact earned $2 billion from the Google Play and Apple App stores in its first year and now it’s the third biggest-earning mobile game worldwide in the past 12 months.

Honour of Kings and PUBG Mobile are the most financially successful mobile games in the world right now. Genshin Impact was released on September 28, 2020 and directly acquired almost 10 million pre-registrations and crossed the $1 billion mark six months after its release.

The game’s revenue comes from microtransactions allowing players to purchase “Genesis Crystals” that can be converted to premium currency called “Primogems” and then to another currency called “Fates.” These fates can be used to roll for characters or weapons. Genshin also started offering paid cosmetics for two of its characters.
