Genshin Impact (MiHoYo, 2020) launched on PC, PS4 and mobile simultaneously in September 2020. Just under six months later, on 24 March 2021, the mobile revenue hit a whopping $1 billion (£724.8 million) faster than any other mobile game.
Second place goes to Pokémon GO (Niantic, 2016), which managed $1 billion in revenue in just under seven months.
Genshin Impact is also the fastest mobile game to reach $5 billion (£3.9 billion) in revenue, which it did on 30 January 2024, overtaking Clash of Clans (Supercell, 2012).
