2023 January Gacha Game Revenue Recap: Spring Festival Spikes and the 'Tower of Fantasy' Downfall

With the release of the January 2023 global revenue rankings for ACG-style mobile games, the competitive landscape of the Spring Festival season has been revealed. Data shows a general increase in revenue for most domestic ACG games. NGA 'data analysts' and spectators have gathered once again to dissect the figures.

The OP noted that since January is the first month of the year, no monthly rankings or year-over-year data will be provided. Additionally, a statistical error regarding Genshin Impact's overseas PC data has been corrected.

A primary focus of the discussion is 'Nikke: Goddess of Victory'. Players praised its steady revenue, calling it the spiritual successor to 'Overwatch' (a common community joke referring to its visual appeal) and suggesting its annual performance could rival 'Fate/Grand Order'. Comments noted that January's strong performance was boosted by the 'Modernia' banner, though future non-Pilgrim banners and the upcoming 'Chainsaw Man' collaboration remain to be seen.

'Tower of Fantasy' (often called 'Ta-Ta' by players) became the target of ridicule. Facing dismal revenue, users jokingly noted that prominent community figures are 'cutting ties' with the game. Comments in the thread are filled with sarcasm regarding the revenue decline, with users ironically calling for the 'shareholders' to intervene.

Finally, as a traffic lightning rod, any slight fluctuation in 'Genshin Impact' immediately triggers the 'Doomsdayers' (players who jokingly declare the game is dead). Some fans sarcastically shouted 'Genshin is finished' and 'It's over,' displaying the classic humor of the community.
