ZZZ Enters PS5 Top 10 Games

Zenless Zone Zero has not only made a splash in the gacha and mobile gaming communities but has also expanded its influence with a successful multiplatform launch. The game has impressively reached the #10 position on the list of most popular PlayStation games, standing shoulder to shoulder with industry giants like Elden Ring and Minecraft. This achievement is based on data from Circana's "US Player Engagement Tracker Top 10 Titles" report, which ranks games according to weekly user engagement, although specific playtime statistics were not included in the assessment.

Launched on July 4th, Zenless Zone Zero quickly made an impact by securing the #12 spot on the PS5 Top 40 most-played games chart during its debut week. The game's success extends beyond the console, as reported by PocketGamer.biz, with Zenless Zone Zero generating an impressive $52 million in gross player spending ($36.4 million net) on mobile platforms within just 11 days of its release. On July 5th, the game saw a peak of $7.4 million in consumer spending across the App Store and Google Play.

Although Zenless Zone Zero has not yet outpaced miHoYo's other renowned titles in terms of overall success and profitability, it holds its own against established titles like Call of Duty, Fortnite, and Roblox. On the Epic Games platform, the game enjoys a commendable 4.5/5 star rating, with players particularly praising the engaging boss battles and compelling storytelling.
