Data on the income of various gacha games for the first spring month has become publicly available. The first place among all projects both in the local and global markets was taken by Honkai: Star Rail, earned 99 million And $48 million respectively.
It is noteworthy that in terms of performance in March , Honkai: Star Rail overtook another HoYoverse game - Genshin Impact. Its income in its native Chinese market was $44 million, and on the global – 24 million. Thus, we can conclude that the first project outperformed the second by more than two times.
Overall, the graph shows that Honkai: Star Rail improved its results not only against Genshin Impact, but also against itself last month. Players donated $92.5 million in February and $147 million in March. While Genshin’s income fell by 20 million.
Since both projects HoYoverse largely have a common audience, we can conclude that players liked the March content much more in Honkai: Star Rail. At this time, the end of patch 2.0 occurred, in which a new location was introduced - Penaconia, as well as the release of the strongest buffer, Sparkle, and the rerun of Jing Yuan. And on March 27, a new version was released, in which players were treated to generous rewards for the first anniversary and a particularly powerful damage dealer – Acheron.
At the same time, in Genshin Impact at the beginning of March, players saw the end of the reruns of Xiao and Yae Miko. On March 13, version 4.5 was released, which brought virtually no new content. And the only new character was Tiori, who, apparently, did not gain much popularity among users.
At the same time, it will be interesting to compare the income of both projects for April, since on the 24th a new patch will be released in Genshin Impact , which will include the release of a new location and the much-anticipated Harlequin. It is possible that the Harbinger will help Genshin regain its leadership in revenue among all gacha games.
