Chinese game developer miHoYo's hit RPG Genshin Impact has scooped both the Apple App Store Best of 2020, Game of the Year award and the Google Play, Best Game of 2020 award.

The accolades cap a stellar year for the Genshin Impact team. Accoridng to Mobile App Store intelligence company, Sensor Tower, since launching on September 28th, Genshin Impact generated $393 million in revenue averaging more than $6 million per day.

It's easy to forget amongst the success, the amount of derision directed towards the game's launch trailer last year making the journey from a Chinese-developed IP to a global hit even more remarkable.
