The report points towards insane numbers that might be too hard to digest. In six months of its life-cycle, Genshin Impact has earned a remarkable revenue of a billion dollars!
So far, Geo archon Zhongli has stayed at the top by bringing in $15.5 million, followed by the community’s favorite unit, Xiao, at $15.1 million.
Ganyu’s powerful charge shot and insane DPS capabilities have made her one of the most important units in the game. She has managed to bring $14.8 million in revenue, followed by the latest release of Hu-Tao at $12.8 million.
Surprisingly, Venti did not make the list. Although, the last spot has been acquired by Mondstadt’s superstar alchemist Albedo. So far, he has brought in $9.1 million in revenue.

This fan pointed out an important fact about Hu-Tao., which makes her incredibly special. Other characters were featured inside the storyline, which allowed them to amass a fanbase. And while Hu-tao never really got the same opportunity, she still managed to beat the competition.
