We have a very interesting month this month! So many games have shifted placements, new releases have taken top spots, and the entire genre is shaken! I guarantee you, the top 5 placements are going to leave you shocked.
Hey, my name is Stix and welcome back to your monthly recap of how your favorite Gacha games are doing on a month by month basis.
Gacha games are always fluctuating. Whether a game is doing good or bad is entirely dependent on what banner is currently available, what content was recently released, and what the competition is doing.
With this in mind, I’ve taken on the responsibility to report on the monthly earnings for every major Gacha game. So you know where your favorite game stands in the sea of Gacha – including total downloads.
#1 honkai star rail
Coming in at #1 is Honkai Star Rail, with a gargantuan $90 million dollars earned and 2.3 million new downloads. This is up significantly from last month’s $47 million dollars and 2.2 million new downloads, once more proving that Honkai Star Rail is truly a titan of the Gacha genre.
#2 genshin impact
#2 sees Genshin Impact once again drop from the #1 spot, earning $90 million dollars and 4.3 million new downloads. This is down slightly from last month’s $100 million dollars and 4.4 million new downloads. Yes, HoYo made over $200 million dollars this month, across only 2 games. Absolutely crazy.
#3 love and deepspace
In a shocking turn of events, neither NIKKE, Uma Musume or Fate/Grand Order took the #3 spot this month, rather, a new title, Love and Deepspace showed players that Husbando games can be just as popular as Waifu games, earning $52 million dollars, and 3 million new downloads. This is up quite a bit from last month’s $30 million dollars and 10.5 million new downloads.
#4 Dragon ball z dokkan battle
Dragon Ball Z Dokkan Battle came in at #4 with $43 million dollars earned and 800,000 new downloads. This is up quite significantly from last month’s $19 million dollars and 900,000 new downloads.
#5 naruto mobile
#5 sees a brand new game enter the fray.. Naruto Mobile. Yes, a Naruto Gacha game. Unfortunately this game has no Global release, and is a Chinese exclusive, but still managed to earn $33 million dollars and 1.1 million new downloads. They must really like Naruto in China.
And that’s it for Gacha games that earned above $30 million dollars. Which is.. actually surprising. 5 Gacha games made over $30 million dollars, which is proof the genre is thriving.
#6 monster strike
Monster Strike, another new entry into this list, comes in at #6, with $26 million dollars and 100,000 new downloads.
#7 uma musume
Uma Musume comes in at #7 with $20 million dollars and 50,000 new downloads. This is down just slightly from last month’s $21 million dollars and 40,000 new downloads.
#8 arknights
Arknights managed to claim the #8 spot this month, for the first time in recorded history! Earning $23.3 million dollars and 280,000 new downloads. Absolutely insane numbers that I never thought I’d ever see my favorite Gacha game achieve. This is up significantly from last month’s $12 million dollars and 200,000 new downloads.
#9 blue archive
Blue Archive comes in at #9 with $20 million dollars earned and 370,000 new downloads. This is up from last month’s $16 million dollars and 300,000 new downloads.
#10 fate/grand order
Fate/Grand Order comes in at #10, with $20 million dollars earned and 200,000 new downloads. This is down from last month’s $32 million dollars and 240,000 new downloads.
That marks every Gacha game that has accumulated over $20 million dollars in the last month. Yes, there were 10 total games that made above $20 million dollars. Which is pretty damn good.
This by no means means other Gacha are doing poorly. On the contrary, many Gacha games are still managing to accumulate millions of dollars – and are critical successes.
#11 raid: shadow legends
Raid: Shadow Legends comes in at #11 with $16 million dollars earned and 400,000 new downloads. This is down a little from last month’s $17 million dollars and 500,000 new downloads.
#12 one piece: bounty rush
#12 belongs to One Piece Bounty Rush, earning $15 million dollars and 940,000 new downloads. This is down from last month’s $17 million dollars and 1.6 million new downloads.
#13 light and night
Another newcomer to this list, Light and Night manages the #13 spot with $14 million dollars earned and 270,000 new downloads.
#14 heaven burns red
The #14 spot is taken by none other than Heaven Burns Red, earning $13 million dollars and 90,000 new downloads. This is up quite a bit from last month’s $8 million dollars and 40,000 new downloads. This is also the highest the game has been since August 2023.
#15 summoners war
Summoners War comes in at #15 with $12 million dollars earned and 100,000 new downloads. This is up from last month’s $8 million dollars and 80,000 new downloads.
#16 puzzle & dragons
Puzzle & Dragons manages to capture the #16 spot with $12 million dollars earned and 50,000 new downloads. This is down from last month’s $17 million dollars and 70,000 new downloads.
#17 nikke
NIKKE, for the first time ever, comes in at #17, earning $10 million dollars and 160,000 new downloads. This is down significantly from last month’s $27 million dollars and 300,000 new downloads. This is the lowest NIKKE has ever been, but with the new D: Waifu.. you best bet this is going to soar right back up.
This is every Gacha game that managed to earn above $10 million dollars. Yes, there were 7 games that made between $10 million and $20 million. This is quite a few more titles than normal. The following, however, all managed above $1 million – which is a sign they’re still profitable, successful, and popular to varying degrees.
#18 dragon ball legends
Dragon Ball Legends secured #18, earning $9.2 million dollars and 940,000 new downloads. This is down from last month’s $15.5 million dollars and 1.2 million new downloads.
#19 reverse 1999
Reverse 1999 comes in at #19 with $9 million dollars earned and 360,000 new downloads. This is down a little from last month’s $10 million dollars and 400,000 new downloads.
#20 diablo immortal
And finally, at #20 is Diablo Immortal, with $7 million dollars earned and 300,000 new downloads. This is comparable to last month’s $7 million dollars and 200,000 new downloads.
That marks every Gacha game that has accumulated over $20 million dollars in the last month. Yes, there were 10 total games that made above $20 million dollars. Which is pretty damn good.
This by no means means other Gacha are doing poorly. On the contrary, many Gacha games are still managing to accumulate millions of dollars – and are critical successes.
And that makes up the top 20 Gacha games in terms of downloads and earnings for the last month. I’m sure some of you are as surprised as I am with a few of the games listed here today.
Several new games included in this list this month. But more than that, I want to take a moment to highlight some other games that didn’t make the top 20. Or top 50. Or top 100.
Takt op. Symphony only made $13,000 dollars in the last month. Artery Gear Fusion made $20,000 dollars. Higan Eruthyll made $35,000 dollars. Neural Cloud made $70,000. Tower of Fantasy made $700,000 globally. But most funny of all, in the launch month for One Punch Man: World, it made $1.4 million dollars only. With 6 million downloads. That’s a phenomenal disaster, and well deserved.
It’s been a fascinating month, honestly, and I can’t wait for next month to see how the games continue to shift.
