How to Download and Install Genshin Impact on PC

    If you want to play Genshin Impact on PC, unfortunately you will not be able to pick it up on Steam, EGS or any other launcher. Instead, you'll need to download the game's dedicated launcher from the official Genshin Impact website.

    Click on the link above, then click on the Windows option at the bottom right of the screen. This will automatically download the game launcher. Run the .exe once the download is complete and set your install folder to a directory of your choice. It will default to drive C, but that's just the launcher, installing the game is a separate option.



    Once the installation is complete, the launcher will run automatically and you can click the yellow Install button at the bottom right of the launcher. Set the folder where you want to install the game, keeping in mind that it will eventually have an install size of around 30 GB.

    You'll need to download 12GB right now, and how long it takes will depend on your internet connection. Once this is complete, you can load into the game as long as you have a miYoHo account. Otherwise, you can set it up on the Genshin Impact website linked above. In the upper right corner of the website, you will see a login option, and clicking on it will allow you to create an account if you do not already have one.

    The game will be fully setup and ready to play when it unlocks on September 28, although we suspect you'll need to complete some form of download on your first successful login when the servers go live.
