How to download Genshin Impact on PC

Before explaining in detail how to download Genshin Impact on your PC , it might be useful to know what are the minimum requirements that your computer must meet in order to install this game.

First of all, I would like to point out immediately that it is not possible to download Genshin Impact on Mac . In fact, at least at the time of writing this guide, the title in question is only available for Windows PCs and requires the following minimum requirements.

• Operating system: Windows 7 or later;
• Processor: Intel Core i5 or equivalent;
• Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030;
• RAM: 8 GB;
• Free disk space: 30 GB;
• DirectX: version 11.

If you have a computer that meets these requirements, to download Genshin Impact, connected to the official website of the game , click on the Download button located at the top right and, in the new screen displayed, select the Windows option . This will start the download of the Genshin Impact launcher, necessary to download and play the title in question.

Once the download is complete, double click on the GenshinImpact_install [version] .exe file , click on the Yes button , to allow the software to make changes to your computer, put the check mark next to the option to accept the Genshin Impact user license and click on the Install now option .

Then wait for the progress bar to reach 100% and press the Run now button to complete the installation and start the Genshin Impact launcher. Once this is done, select the Get game option and wait for the download of all the files necessary for the game to work.

At this point, you can monitor the download progress, view the download speed ( Download speed ) and the time remaining to complete the download ( Time remaining ). In addition, by pressing the Pause / Play button you can stop and resume the download as many times as you wish.

As soon as the download and installation are complete, click the Launch button to launch Genshin Impact and start playing.

How to download Genshin Impact on Android

To download Genshin Impact on Android , take your smartphone and start the Play Store , pressing on its icon (the colored ▶ ︎ symbol) on the home screen or in the app drawer.

Now, tap on the Search apps and games option , located at the top, write “Genshin Impact” in the field in question and press the magnifying glass icon located in the lower right corner of the keyboard, to view search results.

At this point, locate Genshin Impact (it should be the first result) and press on its icon, to access the description of the application (which you can also reach by pressing here ). To start the app download, tap the Install button , wait for the progress bar to reach 100% and, once the download is complete, press the Open button to start Genshin Impact.

If, on the other hand, you are using a device on which there is no Play Store (e.g. a Huawei smartphone with AppGallery ), you can download Genshin Impact through an alternative store, as I explained to you in my guide on how to install apps on Huawei .

At the first start of the game in question, press the Allow button , if you want to activate notifications, and select the Register now option , to create a MiHoYo account that allows you to save game progress and synchronize it between multiple devices. If, on the other hand, you have already created an account, enter the data in the Enter email / Username and Enter password fields and press the Login button to start playing.

In the new screen displayed, tap on the Games, apps, stories and much more option located near the Search item , type “Genshin Impact” in the appropriate search field and press the Search button .

Then press the Get button and, if requested, verify your identity via Face ID, Touch ID or entering the Apple ID password . If, on the other hand, you had already downloaded the app in question in the past, tap the arrow icon inside a speech bubble to start the download immediately.

Once the download is complete, press the Open button (or select the app icon from the Home screen or the App Library), to start Genshin Impact, tap the Allow button , if you want to activate notifications, and select the Register now option , to create a MiHoYo account, which will allow you to save game progress and synchronize it between multiple devices.

How to download Genshin Impact on PS4

How do you say? Would you like to download Genshin Impact on PS4 ? In that case, after making sure your console is connected to the internet, all you have to do is go to PlayStation Store , search for the game in question and start its download.

To proceed, therefore, turn on the PS4 , make sure it is connected to the Internet and make sure you are logged in with your PlayStation Network account . Now, press the left arrow on the controller, select the Store item and press the X button on the pad, to start the PlayStation Store.

The game is also compatible with PS5 , so an optimized version has been announced (but not yet released at the time of writing).

How to download Genshin Impact on Switch

If you’re wondering if it’s possible to download Genshin Impact on the Switch , I’m sorry to tell you the answer is no. In fact, at the time of writing this guide, the title in question has not yet been released for the famous hybrid console from Nintendo.

However, the developers have announced that Genshin Impact will also be available on Nintendo Switch in the near future. As soon as the title is available, I will update the guide. In the meantime, I refer you to my generic tutorial on how to download free games on Nintendo Switch .
