The game achieved an income of $2,331,352 on that day, far exceeding the average daily revenue, and was 4.3 times higher than the usual daily earnings.
According to data from FoxData, we discovered that the game launched its "9th Anniversary" event on August 4th, which included ten major campaigns celebrating the milestone and introduced a new limited-time Servant, "Space Ereshkigal"!

"Fate/Grand Order" continued to see an increase in revenue for two consecutive days, ultimately reaching its peak daily income for the month on August 5th with $2,558,215.
