New players can download Genshin Impact for free on the App Store for iOS here and on Google Play for Android here. The PC version is available on the official website here and the Epic Games Store. iOS users with iOS 14.5 or iPadOS 14.5 and later can enjoy playing Genshin Impact with PS5 and Xbox Series X|S controllers. Previously, we featured Genshin Impact as our Game of the Week upon its release and awarded it our 2020 Game of the Year. It was also highlighted as one of the best iOS games for controller play.
