The game is currently also in development for PlayStation.Įurogamer recently gave Honkai: Star Rail a Recommended badge, with our Jessica calling it "more than Genshin Impact in space". 21m of these came from China, with the extra 10m coming from across the globe. Prior to Honkai: Star Rail's release across PC and mobile, the game had over 30m pre-registrations.

The game has broken records by reaching the number one spot on the iOS game download chart in more countries than any game that has come before, as noted by industry analyst Daniel Ahmad. It should be noted that while both numbers overpower Honkai Impact 3rd, that’s partially because of the game’s own release strategy- the game launched in China first, only receiving South East Asia and Global clients a year after the fact.Watch on YouTube Here's Honkai: Star Rail's release trailer to show it in action. Follow us on Twitter Follow and Tweet us Tweet to Star Rail amassed more downloads, the same can’t be said for revenue- Genshin Impact saw over 39 million USD in purchases on mobile that first week, just beating out Star Rails 37 million.Īll in all, this is a strong showing for HoYoverse in general- having their next big title launch more or less go neck-and-neck with their last successful one is a good sign that Genshin’s success was no fluke- they’re just as capable of recreating that success with other major titles.Īt the same time though, it’s understandable that you might have expected more growth as well- HoYoverse is a much more prominent figure in the industry now compared to when Genshin Impact launched, and you’d think that would manifest in a bigger gap between Star Rail and Genshin.
