MiHoYO’s free to play action game, Genshin Impact, still dominating in the world of digital gaming. Being free to play, Genshin Impact has had reached quite the popularity, and with the power of in-game marketing, that success was highly likely to transfer into powerful earnings. SuperData Research has discovered that Genshin Impact was the highest-grossing game for October.
Genshin Impact from miHoYo was October’s highest-grossing game. The title, which was released on September 28 on mobile, PlayStation 4 and PC, is an unprecedented international success for a game made by a Chinese developer. Genshin Impact features monetization mechanics commonly found in mobile games like collecting characters through gacha (where users pay for the chance to get random in-game items) and limited-time events. However, gameplay inspired by console role-playing games and action-adventure titles attracted players who may have avoided mobile gacha games in the past.
With the latest 1.1 update, Genshin Impact’s sensation is likely to continue thanks to the addition of new characters and a limited-time event. PlayStation 5 players can now also delve into the game, considering that the update has brought support for the PS5. Genshin Impact can now run at 60 FPS on the next-gen console. Furthermore, the game is prominent to future updates that will bring even more content, which aligns the hype and success of the game.
