Making a Mark
With the successful launch of Zenless Zone Zero and the impressive growth of Honkai: Star Rail into a billion-dollar sensation, HoYoverse has been a powerhouse in the RPG and gacha game world. Their games consistently dominate the charts, with Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail leading the pack. HoYoverse’s impact is undeniable.
Being the fastest game to hit $5 billion in consumer spending, Genshin Impact has conquered the gaming market globally and elevated HoYoverse to new heights in the industry.
Standout Title
Following the massive success of Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail showcased HoYoverse’s prowess once again. Achieving 20 million downloads on its launch day and surpassing 100 million downloads overall, Star Rail has set new benchmarks in the gaming world.
HoYoverse’s latest release, Zenless Zone Zero, exceeded expectations with 50 million downloads within 72 hours of launch. With three standout RPG titles under their belt, HoYoverse truly deserves the title of Best Developer of 2024.
