More people in Japan have been downloading the KFC app this year than in the previous three years, likely as a result of the Genshin Impact and Umamusume: Pretty Derby collaborations.
Between August and October 2024, KFC in Japan had collaboration campaigns with Umamusume: Pretty Derby and Genshin Impact.
In particular, October 2, 2024 (the day that the Genshin Impact collaboration started) saw the highest number of people downloading the KFC app in these past three years.
But, thanks to the 20,000 new users from the Umamusume campaign and the 40,000 from Genshin Impact, the app’s download numbers have already surpassed 2023’s Christmas.
