ZZZ Becomes Top 12 Most Played Game on the PS5

miHoYo, the studio behind the wildly successful Genshin Impact, continues its PlayStation conquest. Their latest action RPG, Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ), has swiftly climbed the ranks of most-played games, solidifying its place among PlayStation's gaming elite.

Zenless Zone Zero: A PlayStation Launch Triumph for miHoYo

ZZZ Cracks the PS5 Top 10

Zenless Zone Zero, a free-to-play action RPG, has quickly gained significant traction on PlayStation. Following the success of Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, miHoYo's multiplatform launch of ZZZ has proven highly effective.

The game's performance is impressive. Recent data from Circana's "US Player Engagement Tracker Top 10 Titles" report (released yesterday) places ZZZ in the top 10 most popular PlayStation games, alongside established heavyweights like Elden Ring and Minecraft. It's important to note that Circana's ranking is based on weekly user engagement, not playtime.

Launched on July 4th, ZZZ's initial impact was substantial, securing the #12 spot on the PS5 Top 40 most-played games chart during its launch week. Further bolstering its success, a report from PocketGamer.biz last week revealed nearly $52 million in gross player spending ($36.4 million net) on mobile within the first 11 days of release, peaking at $7.4 million on July 5th across the App Store and Google Play.

While not yet surpassing the overall success of miHoYo's other titles, Zenless Zone Zero stands shoulder-to-shoulder with industry giants like Call of Duty, Fortnite, and Roblox. On the Epic Games platform, the game boasts a strong 4.5/5 star rating, with players praising its engaging boss battles and compelling narrative.

We awarded ZZZ a 76/100 score, highlighting its stunning visuals and fluid animations. Read our full review here! [Link to Review]
