HoYoverse's mobile game, Zenless Zone Zero, continues its impressive market performance. The recent 1.4 update, titled "And the Starfall Came," propelled the game to a record-breaking $8.6 million in daily mobile player spending, surpassing even its initial July 2024 launch figures.
According to AppMagic, Zenless Zone Zero's cumulative mobile revenue has already exceeded $265 million. Update 1.4's success is attributed to the introduction of new characters, Hoshimi Miyabi and Asaba Harumasa (the latter offered free to all players), along with enhanced gameplay mechanics, new environments, and game modes. The Hoshimi Miyabi character banner was particularly instrumental in driving this record revenue.
Remarkably, the 1.4 update sustained player engagement far beyond typical trends. Unlike the usual post-update revenue decline within a week, Zenless Zone Zero maintained daily revenue above $1 million for over 11 consecutive days, and even surpassed $500,000 per day after two weeks.
While undeniably successful, Zenless Zone Zero still lags behind HoYoverse's other flagship titles, Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, in terms of overall revenue.
