Honkai Star Rail, with a staggering 20 million downloads at its debut, has quickly proven itself as a massive success for MiHoYo, the team behind Genshin Impact. Recent data provides insight into just how well this free-to-play sci-fi game has performed since its release.
According to information from App Magic, Honkai Star Rail generated $6.3 million in mobile revenue within the first 24 hours of its launch. In the first six days following its global release on April 26, the game amassed over $32 million.

China leads the way in revenue, accounting for 39% of total player spending. Japan follows with 22%, the United States with 15%, and South Korea with 6%.
Comparatively, Genshin Impact’s first-day revenue on iOS and Android was around $4.6 million, accumulating $31.8 million within the first six days of its global launch. This incredible performance establishes a new record for MiHoYo.
