* ''Fly Me 2 The Moon'': The nascent company's very first game (the group at the time was little more than Forrest Liu, Cai Haoyu and a handful of their college friends from Shanghai Jiao Tong University), released for mobile devices in 2011.
* ''VideoGame/ZombiegalKawaii'', or ''Honkai Gakuen'': [=miHoYo=]'s first "true" game and the first installment of the ''Honkai'' series, released in 2012 for mobile devices.
* ''VideoGame/GunsGirlZ'', also known as ''Honkai Gakuen 2'': The second ''Honkai'' game and overhauled version of ''Zombiegal Kawaii'', as well as [=miHoYo=]'s first gacha game. Released for mobile devices in 2014 in China, the game was generally seen as responsible for opening up the action game industry in China and proving that such games could both be made profitably and could work on mobile devices, spawning a legion of imitators.
* ''VideoGame/HonkaiImpact3rd'', first released in China on October 14, 2016, with a release in Japan following on February 22, 2017, Southeast Asia on May 1, 2017, Korea on October 17, 2017, Taiwan on November 18, 2017 and globally on March 28, 2018. The third installment of the ''Honkai'' series, this is their first heavily globalized game and the successor to ''[=GunsGirlZ=]''. This was also the first of their games to truly push what was considered possible on mobile, as in 2016, its graphics were considered impossibly good (and surprisingly compatible with a variety of devices) for mobile platforms. Its wide release was also responsible for people outside of China beginning to take notice of the company.
* ''VisualNovel/TearsOfThemis'', a PoliceProcedural-themed OtomeGame for mobile devices, released in 2020.
* ''VideoGame/GenshinImpact'', a fantasy open-world ActionRPG released on September 28, 2020. Their first simultaneous global release, ''Genshin'' is the game that got the company truly massive recognition over the world and is their first release for a game console. A digital card game known as ''[[VideoGame/GenshinImpactGeniusInvokationTCG Genshin Impact: Genius Invokation TCG]]'' debuted in Version 3.3, featuring several characters from the main game.
* ''VideoGame/HonkaiStarRail'': The fourth installment of the ''Honkai'' series, ''Star Rail'' a turn-based RPG set in a parallel universe to ''Honkai Impact 3rd'', and the company's second simultaneous global release. Officially announced at the end of the "Starfire Sonorant" live concert for ''Honkai Impact 3rd'', it released on April 26, 2023, with a Platform/PlayStation5 version released on October 11, 2023.
* ''VideoGame/ZenlessZoneZero'', an urban fantasy action game announced in May 2022.

* AllThereInTheManual: The official Website/YouTube channels of their individual games may not only contain straightforward trailers, teasers and demos, but also supplemental behind-the-scenes information explaining how they came up with a given concept. For example in ''Genshin Impact'', a video [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfUSO0DlAwc explains the creative inspiration]] for the Liyue region, while in ''Honkai Impact 3rd'', a video [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nWX71GKzVE explains the appearance tropes, symbolisms and design motifs]] for the character Mobius. Some of these videos also provided further plot-relevant details. Being available on an online video platform also allowed them to provide official subtitle captions for other languages.

Internationally, the company's titles and operations are handled by its Singapore-based subsidiary '''Cognosphere Pte., Ltd.''', which does business as '''HoYoverse'''. [=miHoYo=] also owns 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.

[=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).

* ''VideoGame/HonkaiStarRail'': The fourth installment of the ''Honkai'' series, ''Star Rail'' a turn-based RPG set in a parallel universe to ''Honkai Impact 3rd'', and the company's second simultaneous global release. Officially announced at the end of the "Starfire Sonorant" live concert for ''Honkai Impact 3rd'', it released on April 26, 2023, with a UsefulNotes/PlayStation5 version released on October 11, 2023.

** A recurring plot device throughout [=miHoYo=]'s games is characters with {{Split Personalit|y}}ies, almost always with a supernatural explanation. In ''Honkai Impact 3rd'', this is a characteristic of Herrschers in general, overlapping with SuperpoweredEvilSide. ''Genshin Impact'' features five characters with some sort of split personality, [[LiteralSplitPersonality literal]] or otherwise [[note]]Fischl, Layla, [[spoiler:the Raiden Shogun, Nahida, and Il Dottore]][[/note]], but never with the same excuse.

* ''VideoGame/HonkaiStarRail'': The fourth installment of the ''Honkai'' series, ''Star Rail'' a turn-based RPG set in a parallel universe to ''Honkai Impact 3rd'', and the company's second simultaneous global release. Officially announced at the end of the "Starfire Sonorant" live concert for ''Honkai Impact 3rd'', it released on April 26, 2023, with a UsefulNotes/PlayStation5 release planned for later in 2023.

* ''VideoGame/ZenlessZoneZero'', a futuristic-style action game announced in May 2022.

*** In ''Genshin Impact'', Aria, Sonnet and Canon are the three historical "moon sisters", two of Teyvat's nations, '''Mond'''stadt and Li'''yue''', have their names based on the word "moon" of German and Chinese, respectively, and one of the game's microtransaction elements is named "Blessing of the Welkin Moon".

* ReusedCharacterDesign: The design of the "magical girl" protagonist in ''Fly Me 2 The Moon'' would later be reused for their ''Honkai'' games as Kiana.
