Although miHoYo has only been established for more than ten years, it has already grown into a well-known brand in the domestic game industry, and it is a leading manufacturer. The series of games such as "Genshin Impact" and "Honkai" launched by miHoYo have not only attracted many users in China, but also gone overseas and laid a solid foundation in the global market.
Now, miHoYo has launched the development of HarmonyOS native applications, which means that the construction of the HarmonyOS ecosystem has once again made breakthroughs. miHoYo's games have always been known for their excellent art style and excellent picture quality, and of course, this has led to games such as "Genshin Impact" putting forward higher performance requirements for mobile phones. Even, "Genshin Impact" and "Honkai" have become special games used by many people to test the extreme performance of mobile phones. If miHoYo optimizes the HarmonyOS native system, then users will be able to get a better experience.

miHoYo is willing to adapt native applications to HarmonyOS, on the one hand, because it values the huge market behind the HarmonyOS ecosystem, and official data shows that the number of HarmonyOS users has reached hundreds of millions, which is of great significance to developersOn the other hand, HarmonyOS adopts a distributed design, and the software and hardware collaboration technology maintains a leading position in the industry, and miHoYo's games can use HarmonyOS to complete the coverage of more devices, in addition to mobile phones, tablets, PCs, smart screens, etc.
At present, many manufacturers in the game industry have reached in-depth cooperation with HarmonyOS. Not long ago, NetEase Games announced that it would develop a native app for HarmonyOS;In November, Unity, a major game engine manufacturer, announced that the Unity Engine fully supports the OpenHarmony operating system and various system capabilities.
As the leading brands in the game industry, the addition of miHoYo and NetEase Games will definitely play a good role as an example. Once they prove the advantages of the HarmonyOS ecosystem in terms of game experience, marketing, promotion, etc., they will naturally attract more game developers to join. More developers bring richer works, which will also attract more users to join the HarmonyOS ecosystem, thus forming a virtuous circle, which will be a good thing for developers, the HarmonyOS platform and users.
In addition, starting from November, in the past month or so, a large number of Internet companies have been intensively joining the HarmonyOS ecosystem and starting HarmonyOS native application development, in addition to NetEase and miHoYo, there are also Meituan, Qunar, Alipay, DingTalk, Bilibili, Xiaohongshu, Toutiao, etc. In the future, we might as well wait and see what new changes the HarmonyOS ecosystem will show.
