Gacha game enthusiasts are always keen on monitoring the financial performance of their favorite titles. The latest figures for January 2025 have just been released, shedding light on the revenue dynamics within the genre.
Last month, Genshin Impact rolled out a significant update featuring the pyro archon, Mawuika, which drew considerable attention. The impact of this update was evident in the game's financials, as miHoYo (HoYoverse) reported a doubling of revenues, reaching $99.4 million compared to $45.6 million in December 2024.

In the revenue rankings, Pokemon TCG secured the second spot with earnings of $64 million, while the popular "female gacha" game, Love and Deepspace, claimed the third position with $55.2 million.
Meanwhile, Honkai Star Rail saw its earnings drop to $50.8 million, and Zenless Zone Zero experienced a significant decline, with revenues halving 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, like those from miHoYo, are also available on PC. Additionally, a specific calculation method is used for the Chinese market: "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."
