The game was simultaneously launched on various platforms including PC, PlayStation 5, Android, and iOS devices on July 4, 2024. While it is unclear how many of the 50 million downloads came from mobile, estimates from AppMagic suggest that Zenless Zone Zero earned a staggering $24.6 million on mobile platforms alone within its first five days. This revenue was enough to secure the game a spot in the top 10 revenue generators, ranking at number eight.
What’s even more impressive is that Zenless Zone Zero managed to outperform the combined earnings of HoYoverse’s other popular titles, Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail. Genshin Impact earned $35.3 million in its first five days, while Honkai: Star Rail set a new benchmark by earning $55 million during the same launch window. This shows the immense success of Zenless Zone Zero and the strong support from its player base.
A significant factor in Zenless Zone Zero’s success is the established audience that HoYoverse has built through its previous titles. Three quarters of the game’s 50 million downloads came from pre-registered users, indicating the loyalty and anticipation among fans. The majority of these pre-registered users were from China (51%) and Japan (25%), highlighting the game’s popularity in these regions.
Overall, Zenless Zone Zero’s rapid rise to success demonstrates the power of a well-established gaming franchise and the ability to captivate players with engaging gameplay and immersive experiences.
