Gacha game enthusiasts are always keen to monitor the financial performance of their favorite titles. The latest figures for January 2025 have just been released, providing a fascinating insight into the current state of the genre.
Last month, Genshin Impact rolled out a significant update featuring the pyro archon and a banner with Mawuika, which undoubtedly drew a lot of attention. According to the data, the miHoYo (HoYoverse) hit saw its revenues double to an impressive $99.4 million, up from $45.6 million in December 2024.

Coming in second place was Pokemon TCG, which generated $64 million, while the popular "female gacha" game, Love and Deepspace, secured the third spot with $55.2 million in earnings.
Meanwhile, Honkai Star Rail experienced a dip in earnings, reporting $50.8 million, and Zenless Zone Zero saw its revenues cut in half, dropping from $57.9 million to $26.3 million.
It's important to note that these rankings are based solely on mobile platform revenues. Some of these games, such as those from miHoYo, are also available on PC. Additionally, there's a specific calculation method mentioned: "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."
