The game will also be released on Nintendo Switch. Genshin Impact features an anime-style open world environment and an action-based combat system centered around elemental magic and character switching. It is a free-to-play game that utilizes gacha mechanics to monetize and regularly expands its content through patches, following a games-as-a-service model.
The game is set in the fantasy world of Teyvat, which is divided into seven countries, each ruled by a different elemental god. Players take on the role of the Traveler, an interdimensional adventurer who is separated from his twin brother after arriving in Teyvat.
Accompanied by a character named Paimon, the travelers embark on a journey through the various nations of Teyvat in search of their missing siblings. Along the way, they meet many people and uncover the secrets of the land.

Development of Genshin Impact began in 2017, drawing inspiration from a variety of sources, including The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, anime, Gnosticism, and different mythologies from around the world.
The game received generally positive reviews, with critics praising its combat mechanics and immersive open world. However, some criticism has been directed at its simplistic endgame content and gacha-based monetization system. As of September 2021, Genshin Impact has estimated revenue of nearly $3.7 billion across all platforms, making it the highest-grossing game in its first year.

To enhance their characters’ abilities, players can upgrade them and equip them with artifacts and weapons. Progressing in the game requires completing various challenges and defeating bosses, which yield valuable resources. However, these rewards cost raw resin, a currency that slowly replenishes over time.
The player’s character can perform a range of actions such as running, climbing, swimming, and gliding, all of which are governed by stamina. Some characters have special abilities that can alter the environment, such as freezing water to create ice roads to travel through.
Teleport nodes are scattered around the world, allowing players to move quickly between locations. The seven landmark statues can not only heal and resurrect characters, but also increase stamina.

Exploration yields valuable resources, including food, ore, and treasure chests. Food can be obtained by hunting animals, gathering fruits and vegetables, or purchasing it from the in-game store. Cooking food using ingredients found in the world can provide beneficial effects such as health regeneration and stat boosts. Ore can be refined to create weapons or increase character strength.
Genshin Impact offers a multiplayer mode where up to four players can join together in the open world or participate in areas, special combat instances. Players can connect with others through manual requests or automatic matching. Cross-platform gaming allows players on different platforms to play against each other.
Additional playable characters can be unlocked by completing missions or participating in limited-time events. However, most characters are obtained through the game’s gacha system, called “Wishes.” Premium in-game currency can be earned through purchases or in-game rewards and used to pull in the gacha system. The game uses a mercy system that ensures players receive rare items after pulling a certain number of times.
