The achievement was announced by the authors of Honor of Kings in an official blog on the Chinese platform Weibo. On October 26, during a special event celebrating the game's ninth anniversary, more than 100 million users logged in.
TiMi Studio Group thanked players for their support and announced a series of additional festive events.
The MOBA by Tencent first surpassed the 100 million DAU mark in November 2020. As noted by analyst Daniel Ahmad, it then became the first game in history to achieve such a milestone.
Honor of Kings is one of the highest-grossing mobile titles in the world. According to AppMagic, the project’s net revenue from in-game purchases has exceeded $12.4 billion. Most of this amount was earned in China — and that's only on iOS, as Google Play is officially unavailable in the country.
