Hoshimi Miyabi helped Zenless Zone Zero set a new revenue record

Author : Hannah Feb 08,2025

HoYoverse's mobile hit, 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 launch day revenue in July 2024.

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 like Hoshimi Miyabi and Asaba Harumasa, alongside enhanced gameplay mechanics, new environments, and game modes, all stimulating increased player spending.

The free availability of Harumasa as a promotional character, coupled with a focused banner featuring Hoshimi Miyabi, significantly contributed to this revenue surge.

Remarkably, the 1.4 update sustained player engagement far beyond typical post-update trends. Daily revenue remained above $1 million for over 11 consecutive days, and even after two weeks, exceeded $500,000 per day.

While undeniably successful, Zenless Zone Zero still trails behind HoYoverse's other flagship titles, Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, in terms of overall revenue.
