[=miHoYo=] (米哈游, ''Mǐ Hā Yóu'') is a Chinese video game development studio founded in 2011 by Forrest Wei Liu and Cai Haoyu in UsefulNotes/{{Shanghai}}. Beginning as a small mobile game developer, [=miHoYo=]'s early titles allowed them to grow into one of the world's more notable mobile developers, who have become famous for pushing the boundaries of what is considered possible on "mobile" platforms and for heavy encouragement of cross-platform play.
They also have an in-house music division called "[=HOYO-MiX=]" which composes the songs and [=BGMs=] used in their games, and a "[=miHoYoAnime=]" division which creates fully-animated 2D video clips.
What was known as the official "[=miHoYo=] Forums" for their games got rebranded as "[=HoYoLAB=]". Starting in February 2022 with the Version 2.5 update for ''Genshin Impact'', [=miHoYo=] rebranded itself as "[=HoYoverse=]" as part of its global expansion in various media, and in order to have a name that would be somewhat more understandable and immediately recognizable the world over (the original name having been something of a Mandarin-specific pun).
