How to Play Genshin Impact on Steam [A Workaround]

Is Genshin Impact on Steam?

As I mentioned in a previous post, Genshin Impact is not currently available to Steam users. To play this game on PC, you should download it from the Genshin Impact official website or Epic Games.

Genshin Impact is a free-to-play action role-playing game developed by miHoYo. This game features an anime-style open-world environment and an action-based battle system using elemental magic and character-switching.

You can play this game on Windows PC, Android and iOS mobile devices, and PS4/5 consoles. But unfortunately, Genshin Impact isn’t officially available on Steam, the biggest PC game distribution platform.

Many people may want to play Genshin Impact from Steam. And they want to know some information about Genshin Impact Steam. So far, miHoYo has registered as a developer on Steam and released its previous game Honkai Impact 3rd.

So, it’s possible that miHoYo will release Genshin Impact on Steam later. But so far, miHoYo didn’t announce that it would release Genshin Impact on Steam, and Steam users may need to wait for a long time.
