Genshin Impact is a free-to-play single-player and coop open-world action RPG title broadly similar to the 3D Zelda franchise, for PC (via miHoYo or Epic launchers), Console (PS4 & PS5) and Mobile (iOS and Android), taking place in the massive fantasy continent of Teyvat. Genshin Impact comes with a lively open world, multiple characters, element-based combat and exploration, and an engaging story featuring great voice acting. Players will take on the role of a mysterious “Traveler” who set sail to find their lost sibling. As a free-to-play online title, Genshin Impact will enable players to explore Mondstadt and Liyue Harbor – two of the seven major cities in Teyvat – each with unique cultural ambience, stories, vast surrounding landscapes full of diverse creatures and enemies, mysteries, and hidden treasures. Furthermore, the game will continue to expand with more cities, following stories, new characters and seasonal events through live-service updates to enrich the gameplay and expedition in the continent of Teyvat.

Free-to-Play Model
Genshin Impact is a Gacha-monetized game that is generally regarded as completely F2P-friendly, that is, satisfying to play without purchasing anything. All the game content may be played for free, especially its huge single player campaign. Extra characters to collect and weapons to diversify gameplay may be earned to some extent by playing, or purchased indirectly through mystery boxes.
