SHANGHAI: Tencent Holdings Ltd’s Dungeon & Fighter Mobile (DnF Mobile) kept its spot as China’s top-grossing game despite the launch of a major rival from Genshin Impact studio Mihoyo Co, passing a key test of popularity in an intensely competitive market.

Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ) brought in US$3.4mil from iPhone players in China on July 4, falling shy of the US$8.5mil spending in DnF Mobile, according to Sensor Tower data provided to Bloomberg News. Globally, ZZZ racked up US$5.9mil on iOS and Google Play on its first day, and it topped the download charts in dozens of markets from the United States to Japan and South Korea.
