Fans of gacha games continue to track the financial success of various representatives of the genre. Data for May 2026 has recently become available.
The published ranking features various gacha games, including three miHoYo (HoYoverse) projects. Genshin Impact and Zenless Zone Zero show revenue growth, while Honkai Star Rail experienced a sharp decline.
- Genshin Impact — second place; $41.67 million (previously in April — $40.11 million)
- Honkai Star Rail — third place; $37.77 million (previously in April — $58.10 million).
- Zenless Zone Zero — seventeenth place; $9.37 million (previously in April — $7.17 million).
The top five most profitable gacha games in May 2026 are as follows:
- Love and Deepspace — $48.98 million
- Genshin Impact — $41.67 million.
- Honkai Star Rail — $37.77 million.
- Wuthering Waves — $31.75 million.

As usual, the compiled ranking only considers revenue from mobile platforms (some games are also available on PC, such as miHoYo projects). There is also a nuance in the calculation: "Since Google Play does not exist in China, estimates published for Android data in China are determined using a multiplier based on iOS revenue in the country."
