At the end of September, “Genshin Impact” ranked first with $50.2 million, an increase of approximately $11.8 million from August. This achievement allowed the game to once again exceed the $50 million mark and become the leader in overall ratings. At the same time, the statistics themselves only consider action purchases, so the actual revenue of the project is higher.
Genshin Impact’s growth occurred in the month of version 7.1’s release, the game’s sixth anniversary, and the debut of two new Snezhnaya characters, Vesna and Vodyanitsa. Another factor is the reset of supply store bonuses. Discussing the report, players noted that it was the combination of the Anniversary and Snezhnaya banners that gave the game such a significant lead.
Honkai Impact: Star Trail It ranked third with $35.7 million, $6 million more than August’s figure. An increase of about 20%. September marks the start of version 4.6 and the release of Pearl, as well as character-related activities. In a separate discussion, it’s worth noting that the Global Action HSR metric increased by approximately 11% on iOS and 25% on Android after the new update rolled out.
Things are completely different this month No Zen Zone. The game’s revenue was approximately $11.5 million, down from $25.3 million in August, a decrease of approximately 54.5%. After high results in August, ZZZ is back to significantly lower levels: in the report’s discussion, players attributed this to the absence of such a strong flag spike in September, which is usually given by cave hunter-level characters.
Overall, September turned out to be a noteworthy month for HoYoverse games: Genshin Impact and Honkai Impact were in the top three in the ratings category, while Zenless Zone Zero dropped significantly. At the same time, based on the performance from January to September 2026, Genshin Impact has maintained growth (+4%) compared with the same period last year, while HSR (-35.7%) and ZZZ (-14.8%) are still below the 2025 indicators.
It’s worth considering that the amounts given are not net profits but approximate action sales before store commissions; SensorTower may subsequently adjust ratings.
