TencentFinancial ReportThe results are out, Honor of Kings is showing impressive performance overseas.
On March 18, Tencent released its 2025 annual financial report. The data shows that Tencent's annual revenue was 241.6 billion yuan, of which overseas revenue accounted for the majority.GamesWith revenue exceeding $10 billion, AI technology has become a new growth driver. "Honor of Kings," Tencent's long-running game, has performed particularly well in overseas markets, consistently contributing stable revenue.
This financial report sparked heated discussions within the domestic gaming industry: some analyzed Honor of Kings' overseas expansion strategy, others discussed the application prospects of AI technology in games, and still others predicted Tencent Games' new moves in 2026. Readership of related topics rapidly increased across major gaming media outlets and player communities.
Overseas students want to return to the Chinese server, but are discouraged by online discussions.
However, for international students studying abroad, this pride in "their own game" is difficult to translate into actual experience. One player studying in North America shared: "I wanted to play a ranked match on the Chinese server, but the login screen kept spinning and I eventually timed out." "I finally got in, but the latency was over 200ms during team fights, and I couldn't even aim my skills. My teammates reported me immediately."
What's even more frustrating is that MOBA mobile games have very high requirements for network stability. Frequent disconnections not only affect your own rank but also the mood of your teammates. Some players give up after a few attempts: "I wasted an hour setting up, only got ten minutes of actual gameplay, and lost two stars. Who can stand this experience?"
Why is the latency so high when playing Honor of Kings overseas?
The problem lies in physical distance and network architecture. When overseas players connect directly to domestic game servers, data packets need to cross the Pacific or Indian Ocean, often resulting in a one-way latency of over 150ms. Add to that international bandwidth congestion during peak evening hours, and packet loss and retransmission further worsen the experience. Since MOBA mobile games are highly sensitive to latency in skill casting and movement, this level of latency makes it virtually impossible to perform normally.
The core idea for improving this problem is to optimize the data transmission path. Game accelerators like QuickFox use intelligent routing technology to help you choose lower latency return routes, while also using data compression and packet loss retransmission mechanisms to reduce the impact of network fluctuations. Although they cannot overcome physical limitations, they can keep latency within an acceptable range.
What can you do after accelerating?
In actual use, the differences are quite noticeable. Before acceleration, logging into the game might require multiple attempts, and ranked matches were frequently disconnected; after acceleration, the login process is more stable, and the number of disconnections and reconnections during gameplay is significantly reduced. Skill releases are more timely, team battles are smoother, and at least I can participate in competitive matches and play with friends back home.
