Tencent’s Hit Stays on Top After ‘Genshin Impact’ Foe’s Release
- Mihoyo couldn’t dethrone ‘DnF Mobile’ as China’s top earner
- Tencent’s summer blockbuster earned $270 million in a month
Tencent Holdings Ltd.’s Dungeon & Fighter Mobile kept its spot as China’s top-grossing game despite the launch of a major rival from Genshin Impact studio Mihoyo Co., passing a key test of popularity in an intensely competitive market.
Zenless Zone Zero brought in $3.4 million from iPhone players in China on July 4, falling shy of the $8.5 million spending in DnF Mobile, according to Sensor Tower data provided to Bloomberg News. Globally, ZZZ racked up $5.9 million on iOS and Google Play on its first day, and it topped the download charts in dozens of markets from the US to Japan and South Korea.
