EqualOcean has learned that Genshin Impact (Proto-God), which has been available on iOS, Android, console, and PC since September 2020, has seen players spend $5 billion on the game in just 40 months to date, according to a new report from data.ai Intelligence, further cementing its status as one of the most profitable games of all time (both on mobile and other platforms).
In terms of global consumer spending on Progenitor, China came in first place, accounting for about 30% of the total revenue at $1.5 billion, followed by Japan at $1.06 billion, or 21% of the game's total revenue, and the U.S. Progenitor spending ranked third at $903 million, or 18% of the game's spending. The remarkable performance in the East and West markets provides valuable experience for cross-cultural game development.
The performance of Chinese games going overseas has been relatively weak in recent years. According to the annual report of Chinese games going overseas released by Sensor Tower, the Game Work Committee of China Audio and Digital Association and Gamma Data (CNG), the global game market is gradually warming up, despite this, Chinese game makers are weak in the overseas market, and the actual sales revenue of China's self-developed games in the overseas market will be $18.013, $17.346, respectively, from 2021 to 2023, 16.366 billion dollars, declining for two consecutive years.
In the face of the challenges faced by Chinese game enterprises in overseas markets, Miha Tour has risen above the rest and continued to make great efforts in overseas markets with its popular game The Original God. 2023 The Original God achieved a record high in overseas revenue, realizing a 14% growth and becoming the annual champion of overseas handheld games. The Original God attracted a large number of players around the world and made a name for itself in the Chinese game industry internationally.
Facing the increasingly competitive international market, Chinese game enterprises still need to keep innovating, and the fire of "Original God" has undoubtedly strengthened the confidence of Chinese game enterprises to go overseas, and in the future, more enterprises will emerge and shine on the world stage.
