Open-world adventure game Genshin Impact has made its developer miHoYo around $393 million in revenue since launching in late September, according to mobile analytics firm Sensor Tower. So of course this just means the mobile version numbers, meaning with the numbers from PlayStation 4, and PC, it's sure to have made miHoYo over 400 millions dollars, if maybe not even more.
Most of the money comes from the game's Gacha system, which is a type of virtual lottery popular in mobile gaming which keeps players coming back in the hopes of unlocking their favorite characters. Gamers that go hardcore on such thing are called Whales, which they get an extreme amount of satisfaction from the virtual lottery setup these games use.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider is an AAA game that has reported to have cost 75 million dollars to make. Given how simple Genshin Impact is, miHoYo is laughing in the money.
