Gacha games have transitioned from mobile platforms to PC, enhancing gameplay complexity. Genshin Impact, released in 2020 by Hoyoverse, features an expansive open world and unique character combat systems, with the latest update introducing the Natlan region.

Nikke: Goddess of Victory, released in 2023 by Shift Up, is a rail shooter with a strong narrative and generous player rewards, though it includes fanservice elements. Honkai Impact 3rd, released in 2019 by Hoyoverse, offers hack-and-slash gameplay and received a significant expansion in 2024. Upcoming gacha games include Infinity Nikki, set for release on December 5, 2024, which will feature open-world exploration and outfit customization, and Arknights: Endfield, scheduled for mid-2025, which will introduce an open-world RPG format with base-building elements.
