The title was the top-grossing mobile game in January 2022 with approximately $237 million in player spending.

Honor of Kings, a MOBA game from Tencent, reclaimed top spot with $225 million in revenue. More than 95% of the game's revenue was from China, which shows how popular the game is in the country. The game took the top spot in the App Store.

Genshin Impact from miHoYo stands strong in third place on the overall list. Candy Crush Saga, a free-to-play puzzle game by publisher King, took fourth place. Free Fire, despite being banned in India, has also retained its spot and is among the top 10 grossing games for the month.
