Star Rail October Revenue Revealed



An interesting chart has revealed how well Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail performed in revenue during October. It’s safe to say that Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail have become HoYoverse’s most popular titles, accumulating tens of millions in revenue each month.

January 1 Could Be a Huge Day for Genshin Impact Fans

Recent Genshin Impact leaks suggest that January 1 could be a big day for fans as a very popular character is expected to be released on this date.

A Reddit user named numberlockbs has shared a chart revealing October revenue numbers for various mobile games, including HoYoverse’s popular titles Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail. The data, apparently taken from a credible business website called Sensor Tower, shows Genshin Impact’s October revenue at around $27 million, similar to its September revenue. In comparison, Honkai: Star Rail‘s revenue dropped from $36 million in September to $24 million in October. Genshin Impact maintaining high sales is not surprising, given that October featured three different banner cycles with popular characters.



Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail October Revenue and Banners Explained

In October, Genshin Impact introduced two new five-star characters, Kinich and Xilonen. Kinich is widely considered one of the most fun characters to join the roster in a long time due to his unique ability to use a grappling hook in the overworld. Meanwhile, Xilonen has greatly enhanced the viability of Geo users. She can adapt to almost any team composition, providing substantial buffs while also reducing enemies’ resistance. A lot of fans agree that Xilonen is an improved version of Kaedehara Kazuha, a character who was widely considered the best neutral support in Genshin Impact.


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.

Although Honkai: Star Rail had a similar banner schedule in October, its 20% revenue drop might be attributed to September’s release of one of the most highly anticipated characters, Feixiao. Honkai’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. The November schedule for Honkai: Star Rail will include a re-run double banner featuring Aventurine and Acheron.
