Gacha Revenue Deep Dive: November 2022 Market Trends and Data Controversies

As November 2022 drew to a close, the revenue data for major ACG mobile games was released, highlighting the intensifying competition in the year-end market. Many publishers made significant efforts, resulting in impressive figures.

Notably, "Goddess of Victory: NIKKE," published by Tencent, performed exceptionally well in overseas markets, becoming a highlight of the month. Meanwhile, the community is engaged in endless debates regarding the accuracy of various statistics platforms, with players eagerly anticipating the market performance of upcoming titles like "Honkai: Star Rail" and "Zenless Zone Zero."

The comment section is heated, focusing primarily on the revenue fluctuations of specific games. Players joked that "Aether Gazer" and "Tower of Fantasy" saw their revenue "cut in half" again. Furthermore, regarding "Genshin Impact's" revenue, hardcore players pointed out that third-party platforms (like Sensor Tower/Erguan) were overly conservative, failing to capture the spending surge caused by limited banners for characters like Nahida and the Wanderer.

Regarding the revenue growth of "Arknights," players attributed it to the strong gacha pull incentive provided by the "limited operator Texas," viewing it as a predictable market outcome.
