Gacha game enthusiasts are always keen on monitoring the financial performance of various titles within the genre. The latest figures for January 2025 have now been released, providing a fascinating insight into the market.
Last month, Genshin Impact launched a significant update featuring the pyro archon, Mawuika, which drew considerable attention. This update propelled Genshin Impact to double its earnings, raking in an impressive $99.4 million, compared to $45.6 million in December 2024. This surge underscores the game's ongoing popularity and the impact of major content updates.

Securing the second spot was Pokemon TCG, which earned $64 million. The game continues to captivate fans with its blend of strategy and nostalgia. In third place, the "female gacha" game, Love and Deepspace, brought in $55.2 million, highlighting its strong appeal to its target audience.
Meanwhile, Honkai Star Rail saw a decline in earnings, reaching $50.8 million. Zenless Zone Zero experienced a significant drop, with its revenue halving from $57.9 million to $26.3 million, reflecting the volatility within the gacha gaming market.
It's important to note that the rankings are based solely on mobile platform revenues. Some games, like those from miHoYo, are also available on PC. A notable point in the calculation method is that, since Google Play is not available in China, Android revenue estimates for the region are derived using a multiplier based on iOS earnings in the country. This nuance is crucial for understanding the global revenue figures presented.
