Can you play Genshin Impact on PlayStation and Xbox?

Can you play it on consoles?

Genshin Impact is a popular free-to-play action RPG that debuted on plenty of platforms and is continuously expanding its availability across as many systems as possible. But, despite the huge roster of devices that can run the game, there are still a few systems that can't run Genshin Impact.

What platforms is Genshin Impact available on?

Genshin Impact can be played on PC (Microsoft Windows), mobile (Android and iOS), and select PlayStation devices (PS4 and PS5). On PC, Genshin Impact can be downloaded from the official website or through the Epic Games Store. While the Epic Games Store is macOS-compatible, Genshin Impact is only available on Windows.

The game will also be playable through NVIDIA's GeForce NOW starting June 23, 2022. This allows players on Mac, Chromebooks, and low-end computers to run the game smoothly through cloud-based streaming. Your adventures in Teyvat are free-to-play and cross-save-friendly, regardless of where you log in.

Where is Genshin Impact unavailable?

Genshin Impact can't be played on macOS, Steam, Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, and Xbox. However, macOS devices will be able to run the game through GeForce NOW from June 23, 2022, onward. HoYoverse also announced a Nintendo Switch port in the works in 2020 but has yet to confirm an actual release date.

Meanwhile, there has been no news about Genshin Impact coming to Steam, Steam Deck, or Xbox, so it's unfortunately impossible to play the game through these platforms. If you're interested in keeping up to date with Genshin Impact's efforts in expanding their compatibility across various systems, consider checking out HoYoLAB once in a while for updates directly from HoYoverse.
