January 2025 gacha gaming revenue is in! Genshin Impact dominates January while Honkai Star Rail and Zenless Zone Zero see a slowdown. Get the full details here.
According to the Gacha Revenue Monthly Report for January 2025, Genshin Impact experienced a significant increase in revenue, while both Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ) and Honkai: Star Rail (HSR) saw their revenu drop during the same period.
While it is less heavy for HSR, ZZZ goes from 57,000,000 in December, down to 26,000,000 in January.

Genshin Impact's revenue increase can be attributed to the latest Archon releasing, new content and events. In contrast, the revenue decrease for ZZZ and HSR might be due to:
Content Gaps: A lack of new content or interesting updates could have led to decreased player interest and spending. Market Saturation: Increased competition within the gacha gaming market may have impacted player retention and revenue. It is important to note that these numbers are estimates for mobile platforms only and do not account for revenue from PC or console versions.

Zenless Zone Zero's Arcade games hide various achievements and polychromes if you manage to get high scores! Here are some tips for Snake Duel!
Snake Duel is one of the Godfinger Arcade games. It is your typical snake game where you have to eat gems, grow bigger, eat other snakes, and get the most points. 
However, it can get quite tricky to get all the achievements linked to Snake Duel. Players have found an amazing way to get over 30M score, and all the achievements for this Arcade Game.
The strategy consists in getting your snake big enough to be able to almost fill two rows on the side of the screen, allowing you to follow your own tail on the side, while the rest of the snakes kill each other constantly.

For a better understanding, you can refer to a video from indysc2 where they made a very good  illustrated guide for this strategy:
It is worth to note that this is way easier on keyboard than on controller or mobile.
A few other tips can be useful to reach higher score in Snake Duel:
Killing other snakes will get you more points Head bump opponents to eat them when you are bigger than them Cut off the way for others by cornering them or circling around them Keep the Yellow Stars and Bombs for the Red, Black, Snow, or Gold Snakes, as those are the most annoying Don't use the speed boost when you want to collide with another snake as it can make you clip through the snake and you will die Keep one space away from the spikes, sometimes they kill you with +1 spot With all those tips you should manage to get all the achievements for Snake Duel!
