January 2025's Top Earning Gacha Games Revealed

Gacha game enthusiasts are keenly following the financial performance of various titles within the genre. The latest financial data for January 2025 has just been released, providing insights into which games are leading the pack.

Last month, Genshin Impact rolled out a significant update featuring the pyro archon, Mawuika, whose banner attracted substantial attention. This update propelled miHoYo's (HoYoverse) flagship game to double its revenue, reaching an impressive $99.4 million compared to $45.6 million in December 2024.

In the revenue rankings, Pokemon TCG secured the second position with earnings of $64 million. The "female gacha" game, Love and Deepspace, followed closely in third place, generating $55.2 million.

Honkai Star Rail experienced a dip in earnings, reporting $50.8 million for the month. Meanwhile, Zenless Zone Zero saw its revenue cut in half, dropping from $57.9 million to $26.3 million.

It's important to note that these rankings reflect earnings solely from mobile platforms. Some games, including those from miHoYo, are also available on PC. Additionally, there's a specific nuance in the revenue calculation: "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."
