The miHoYo-developed video game Genshin Impact took the top position with a gross of 74.21 billion yen, followed by the video game Onmyoji with 70.66 billion yen and Arknights with 50.59 billion yen. Other deliveries include Honkai Impact 3rd with 30.29 billion yen in fifth place, Azur Lane with 22.22 billion yen in sixth place and Punishing: Gray Raven with 12.34 billion yen in ninth place.

It goes without saying that, given its release date, Genshin Impact achieved these earnings in just three months, securing the top spot in record time. The free-to-play game developed and distributed by miHoYo was released for iOS and Android devices, as well as PlayStation 4 and Microsoft Windows globally last September 28. The "Update 1.3" has been available since last February 3 globally.

Synopsis of Genshin Impact

In a world called Teyvat, certain individuals chosen by the gods receive a "Vision," magical gems that give their bearers the ability to control an element. The player begins as a traveler of unknown origin searching for a lost relative, and can choose between a male or female avatar of the Traveler. As the adventure progresses, the player controls several other characters that the Traveler encounters during his journey, each with unique personalities and abilities, as they undertake quests to understand the truth behind the primordial gods of this world.
