The company was founded in 2012 by three students from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, who decided to develop games based on their love of anime. A year prior, the students had developed FlyMe2TheMoon.

The three founders of miHoYo, Cai Haoyu, Liu Wei and Luo Yuhao are classmates of Shanghai Jiaotong University. In February 2012, three students who were still students and another classmate Jin Zhicheng jointly funded the establishment of miHoYo. But one month after the company was founded, Jin Zhicheng quit the company because he got an offer from Cisco China. After several years of development, in the first half of 2017, miHoYo achieved a net profit of 440 million RMB. Currently, the controlling shareholder and actual controller identified by miHoYo is Cai Haoyu, who directly or indirectly controls 41.72% of the company's shares. The other two founders, Liu Wei and Luo Yuhao, are the company's second and third largest shareholders, respectively, and they directly or indirectly control 44.78% of the company's shares. All three are company directors. In early 2018, CK Hutchison Holdings bought a 3.3% stake in miHoYo, and then increased its holdings to 5.28% in early 2019.

Their first notable title was Guns Girl Z (then renamed to Honkai Academy 2), released in 2014. Since then, they have seen success releasing anime-style games that primarily appealed to mobile gamers. The majority of their early titles were successful within Asia, however they would not reach global success until the release of Honkai Impact 3rd.

Their most popular game is Genshin Impact, released in September 2020.

Their most recent game is Tears of Themis, released world-wide in July 2021, but has been available in China since 2020.

miHoYo got an official promotion to a party committee on the 24th of September 2021.

In April 2021, police in Shanghai arrested a man who reportedly planned to assassinate miHoYo's founders. He was said to have been upset about changes to the game Honkai Impact 3rd. This came after miHoYo experienced a backlash by some Chinese fans who were angry that the global version of the game received an exclusive bunny girl & gambling-themed music video and game story as part of a collaboration with MYTH & ROID but not the Chinese version of the game; they considered this disrespectful to Chinese players since the content is not playable in the Chinese servers, despite all the past contents from Chinese servers being available on the global version. Due to the event being an anniversary event for the global version of the game, and not for the Chinese version of the game, the event was made to be exclusive. miHoYo subsequently issued a public apology and removed the music video from their YouTube channel.
