Mihoyo, the Chinese developer behind the hit game Genshin Impact, has been valued at an impressive $23 billion, making it the world's most valuable private gaming company.
Genshin Impact Fuels Mihoyo's Rise
Initially dismissed by some as a clone of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Genshin Impact has since captivated a massive global audience, contributing significantly to Mihoyo's skyrocketing valuation and success.
A Leap in the Global Unicorn Index
According to the Hurun Research Institute's sixth annual Global Unicorn Index, Mihoyo has jumped 91 spots since the last ranking. This surge places the gaming company as the 12th highest-valued private company across all sectors on the list.
Surpassing Industry Giants
Mihoyo's valuation towers over Niantic, the developer of Pokemon Go, which is positioned at 67th on the list with a valuation of $9 billion, highlighting the stark contrast in their market standings.
Continuous Growth and New Ventures
With a portfolio that includes other successful titles like Honkai: Star Rail, Mihoyo continues to expand. Its upcoming action-RPG, Zenless Zone Zero, is anticipated to further cement the company's status in the gaming industry.
