On January 23rd, XD INC officially announced that the download count for the international version of the "XD Town" mobile game had surpassed 10 million.

Kaiyuan Securities released a research note stating that the consistently higher-than-expected user numbers may lay the foundation for subsequent revenue growth that could also exceed expectations, while the concurrent online user count on the Steam platform is also steadily increasing, potentially bringing further revenue increments.

Guojin Securities also believes that the buzz surrounding the "XD Town" international version continues to rise on social media platforms, and the abundance of UGC content within the game holds significant social display value. As the game progresses and players unlock more features, sharing more game content on social media is expected to further break through existing user circles and continue expanding the game's user base.
