The most profitable gacha games of January 2025 have been named

Gacha game enthusiasts are always keen to follow the financial performance of their favorite titles. January 2025's revenue figures are now in, revealing some interesting trends.

Genshin Impact's major update, featuring the Pyro Archon and the highly anticipated Mawuika banner, proved incredibly successful. miHoYo (HoYoverse) saw a remarkable surge in revenue, more than doubling its December 2024 earnings to a staggering $99.4 million (compared to $45.6 million the previous month).

Trailing behind Genshin Impact, Pokémon TCG secured a strong second place with $64 million in revenue. Love and Deepspace, a popular "female gacha" game, rounded out the top three, generating $55.2 million.

Honkai: Star Rail experienced a dip in earnings, reaching $50.8 million. Similarly, Zenless Zone Zero saw a significant decrease, with revenue halved from $57.9 million to $26.3 million.

It's important to note that this ranking considers only mobile platform revenues. While some games, such as miHoYo's titles, also have PC versions, these are excluded from the figures. Furthermore, the data incorporates a methodology adjustment: "Since Google Play is unavailable in China, Android revenue estimates for China are calculated using a multiplier based on iOS revenue within the country."
