miHoYo's Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ) Achieves PlayStation Success
miHoYo, the studio behind the hugely popular Genshin Impact, continues its PlayStation success with its new action RPG, Zenless Zone Zero. The game's multi-platform launch has seen it climb the ranks of PlayStation's most played titles.
ZZZ Cracks the PS5 Top 10
Zenless Zone Zero, a free-to-play action RPG, has quickly gained popularity on the PlayStation 5. Recent data from Circana's "US Player Engagement Tracker Top 10 Titles" report places ZZZ within the top 10 most engaged-with PlayStation games, competing with established giants like Elden Ring and Minecraft. It's important to note that Circana's ranking is based on weekly user engagement, not playtime duration.
Launched on July 4th, ZZZ's initial impact was significant, reaching the #12 spot in the PS5's top 40 most-played games during its first week. Mobile performance was also impressive, generating nearly $52 million in gross player spending ($36.4 million net) within its first 11 days, peaking at $7.4 million on July 5th across the App Store and Google Play, according to PocketGamer.biz.
While not yet matching the overall success of miHoYo's other titles, ZZZ's performance is noteworthy. It's holding its own alongside industry heavyweights like Call of Duty, Fortnite, and Roblox. On the Epic Games Store, ZZZ boasts a strong 4.5/5 star rating, with players praising its compelling boss battles and narrative.
