Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail October Revenue Revealed: A Deep Dive into the Latest Updates

The gaming industry has been abuzz with the latest revenue numbers for two of its most popular mobile games: Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail. According to a recent chart shared by a Reddit user, the data from Sensor Tower reveals that Genshin Impact maintained its high sales, earning around $27 million in October, similar to its September revenue. In contrast, Honkai: Star Rail‘s revenue dropped from $36 million in September to $24 million in October.

Genshin Impact’s October Performance: A New Era of Fun and Viability

Genshin Impact introduced two new five-star characters, Kinich and Xilonen, in October. Kinich is widely considered one of the most fun characters to join the roster, thanks to his unique ability to use a grappling hook in the overworld. Xilonen, on the other hand, has greatly enhanced the viability of Geo users, providing substantial buffs while also reducing enemies’ resistance. Fans agree that Xilonen is an improved version of Kaedehara Kazuha, a character who was widely considered the best neutral support in the game.

Honkai: Star Rail’s October Performance: A 20% Revenue Drop

Honkai: Star Rail had a similar banner schedule in October, but its 20% revenue drop might be attributed to September’s release of one of the most highly anticipated characters, Feixiao. The game’s October banners featured the debut of two new five-star units, Lingsha and Rappa, along with re-run characters like Topaz and Imbibitor Lunae.

Upcoming Events and Characters: What to Expect in November

Genshin Impact‘s November revenue could rise even further, as HoYoverse is likely to introduce a new five-star Anemo DPS named Chasca. Previous leaks suggested that Chasca might become one of the best DPS characters in the game. While HoYoverse has yet to confirm her banner placement officially, Chasca is expected to arrive in the first part of Genshin Impact‘s update 5.2.

Honkai: Star Rail‘s November schedule will include a re-run double banner featuring Aventurine and Acheron.
