We were impressed with Honkai: Star Rail during its appearance at the Apple Dev Showcase earlier this year, but it also seems to borrow many of the models that made Genshin Impact such a powerhouse mobile title before it. It would appear that MiHoYo is on a role with its releases. According to reports, Honkai: Star Rail easily surpassed 20 million downloads on its first day of release. That means Honkai was able to outpace Genshin Impact in an even shorter amount of time. Looking back at data from Genshin Impact’s release in 2020, by Day Four following its release, the game had amassed 17 million downloads according to the data.ai Twitter. According to Ahmad, by the time one day had passed since Honkai: Star Rail’s release, the game had already surpassed over 20 million downloads. Reports of Honkai: Star Rail’s Day One downloads were reported via Niko Partners video games analyst Daniel Ahmad, better known as ZhugeEX on social media. If this number is fully accurate, it even outdid Genshin Impact when it first launched in September 2020. The game officially launched yesterday, and in the one day since, it was reportedly downloaded over 20 million times. 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.Chinese developer MiHoYo, well-known for its previous success with Genshin Impact, is on track to knock another one out of the park with mobile sci-fi RPG Honkai: Star Rail. 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.
