What's expected

Version 6.8 “Luna IX” with new and rerun 5-star banners and continued Nod-Krai / Luna story content.

Player count — is it dead?

~16-21M monthly players (reported/estimated)

Genshin Impact is still active and profitable, with an estimated 16-21 million monthly active players and around 3.8 million daily users across all platforms in early 2026, on top of 300M+ registered accounts.

Mobile MAU reportedly rebounded to roughly 15 million in mid-2025, and the game crossed $10 billion in lifetime player spending by the end of 2025, so engagement remains strong even though it is past its 2022 revenue peak. HoYoverse does not publish official live player counts, so these monthly figures are third-party estimates rather than confirmed numbers.
