Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail continue to reign as the highest-grossing mobile games in July 2023

Sensor Tower has released a new report featuring July 2023's highest-grossing mobile games, with Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail dominating the chart. Both games sit comfortably at the top, although their June 2023's figures were better. That said, fans of these games should look forward to August's sales. That is because Fontaine will debut in Genshin Impact 4.0, and Kafka will finally be playable in Honkai Star Rail later this month.

Until then, let's look at how the two games fared in July 2023 compared to other big gacha games, as reported by Sensor Tower.

The first list focused on all regions, whereas this image shown above is solely for Japan and concerns 2023's first half. This data also comes from Sensor Tower.

The image shown above reveals that Genshin Impact was the eighth best-selling game in Japan regarding total earnings in 2023's first half, only behind the following:

• Monster Strike
• Uma Musume Pretty Derby
• Fate/Grand Order
• Professional Baseball Spirits A
• Puzzles & Dragons
• Dragon Quest Walk
• NIKKE

By comparison, Honkai Star Rail was the fourth most-downloaded game in Japan in 2023's first half. Both of miHoYo's titles have done well in that country, although they historically excel compared to other games when it comes to worldwide sales.
