On March 30, Cook visited MiHoYo headquarters and took a photo with the creators of “Genshin Impact”. The news quickly became a hot search on Weibo. Apple CEO Tim Cook shared this scene on Weibo. He was very happy to meet the team behind “Genshin Impact”, an award-winning game for iPhone and iPad. Cook expressed his gratitude, saying that the MiHoYo team created an immersive fantasy world for everyone on the App Store.
Recently, Cook started his 2023 China trip. In addition to participating in business talks at the China Development Forum, he also visited stores and participated in meetings many times, and took photos with people from all walks of life.
MiHoYo’s “Genshin Impact” performed well. According to Sensor Tower data, thanks to the holding of Hu Tao and Ye Lan’s character activities in early February, and the update of version 3.5 in late February, MiHoYo’s “Genshin Impact” overseas revenue increased again in March, and won the championship in the overseas mobile game revenue list. With the launch of new characters, plots and activities, MiHoYo’s “Honkai Impact 3” also performed well, with overseas revenue increasing by 62% month-on-month, returning to the 14th place in the revenue list and ranking third in the growth list.
Currently, “Genshin Impact” ranks third in the role-playing games in the Chinese App Store and fifth in the best-selling game list. On March 7, Sensor Tower data showed that MiHoYo’s “Genshin Impact” had the highest revenue in the past 11 months in February, returning to the second place in the global mobile game revenue list.
Cook’s trip to China was rich. From Beijing to Shanghai, he visited Apple retail stores, the training base of Wang Jiachao, a disabled athlete in swimming and triathlon, the Peking Opera studio “Yinshe”, and interacted with young actors to encourage them to continue learning. Cook left beautiful memories with every interaction.
