Two weeks ago, Genshin Impact, a gacha game intended for consoles rather than mobile devices, was released. Since then, Genshin Impact profits have reached $100 million in those two weeks, with China, Japan, Korea, and the United States as the primary markets for the game, marketed as a Chinese Breath of the Wild. Gacha games are games loaded with a large number of characters, who players can then attempt to gain through rolling in-game currency that’s either earned by playing the game or bought through real money. The genre name comes from the Japanese capsule toy vending machines, called “Gashapon.” There are multiple popular gacha games that are currently available, including Fire Emblem: Heroes, Fate/Grand Order, Epic Seven, Arknights, Pokemon Masters, and more, all of which who are in similarly successful financial situations.
