Trailing behind Genshin Impact, Pokemon TCG secured second place with $64 million in revenue. Love and Deepspace, a popular "female gacha" title, rounded out the top three, generating $55.2 million.

Honkai Star Rail experienced a decrease in revenue, earning $50.8 million for the month. Zenless Zone Zero also saw a significant drop, with its revenue halved to $26.3 million compared to $57.9 million in the previous month.

It's important to note that this ranking considers only mobile platform revenues. Furthermore, the data incorporates a multiplier for Android revenue in China, as Google Play is unavailable in that market, using iOS revenue as a basis for estimation.
