HoYoverse announced the milestone for Zenless Zone Zero in a post on X this weekend. “Since its release, Zenless Zone Zero has reached 50 million downloads globally,” the studio wrote. “A city that once only existed in the hopes and dreams of the dev team has never been as buzzing with life as it is now.”

To celebrate 50 million downloads, HoYoverse has given all players 1,600 Polychromes, the premium currency used to pull for characters in Signal Search. The gift can be claimed via the Mail tab.
Zenless Zone Zero launched on Friday, July 5 on PC, PS5, and iOS/Android. Similar to HoYoverse’s other games, it’s completely free-to-play, utilizing a “gacha” microtransaction format to bring in revenue.
