iOS users who pre-installed the update should experience minimal additional download time, although the game may require some time to reorganize existing resources upon login. New players can download Genshin Impact for free on the App Store for iOS here, Google Play for Android here, and on PC via the official website here and the Epic Games Store. iOS players with iOS 14.5 or iPadOS 14.5 and later can enjoy the game using PS5 and Xbox Series X|S controllers.
