On Android, use Google Play or the game’s in-app update prompt; on iPhone or iPad, use the App Store. An APK is an Android app package format, not a separate platform or a second official client. The base game is free to download, but that does not mean every in-game item or purchase is free.
Download Genshin Impact for Windows
Start at HoYoverse’s official Genshin Impact download page. The page is the appropriate source for the Windows client; avoid relying on third-party download sites. Current Windows requirements and installer details are not established by the cited page information here, so check HoYoverse’s current guidance before installing on a system with limited storage or older hardware.
Get Genshin Impact on Android: do you need an APK?
For an Android installation or update, HoYoverse directs players to open the game and follow its on-screen instructions, or open Google Play and tap Update. See the official update instructions.
An APK is the Android package format used to install apps. It is not a separate Genshin Impact edition, and the available evidence does not verify a current direct APK download from HoYoverse. For that reason, use Google Play or the in-game route rather than treating a third-party APK mirror as official.

Download Genshin Impact for iOS
On iPhone or iPad, use the App Store. HoYoverse’s update instructions say to open the App Store and tap Update. Current device eligibility should be checked in the store listing; a 2020 launch notice is not a reliable guide to today’s supported Apple models.
How much space does Genshin Impact need?
There is no current total installed-size figure established here. Keep update download estimates separate from the complete installed game: HoYoverse’s June 29, 2026 Version “Luna VIII” notice estimated pre-installation resources at 7 GB for PC and 2 GB for mobile. Those are update-resource estimates, not total game sizes, and the notice says the exact download can vary with installed voice-over packs. Check the Version “Luna VIII” pre-installation notice for that update’s details.
Older storage figures are historical, not current requirements. HoYoverse’s September 8, 2020 launch notice listed 30 GB reserved storage for PC and 8 GB for Android and iOS. A separate 2020 PC FAQ gave different storage guidance, which is another reason not to use either old figure as a current installation target.
Are the published system requirements still current?
No current minimum or recommended Windows, Android, or iOS specifications are established by the cited material. HoYoverse’s 2020 launch notice listed PC minimums including 8 GB RAM and a GeForce GT 1030 or higher; its Android configuration included 3 GB memory, Arm v8a 64-bit, and Android 7.0 or later. The same notice gave launch-era iOS requirements. These are dated 2020 figures and should not be used to decide whether a device is supported today. Consult HoYoverse’s current download and store listings for current compatibility information.

Can you play without downloading the full game?
HoYoverse describes GeForce NOW as a way to play without downloading the entire game. Its GeForce NOW FAQ names Windows PCs, MacBooks, Chromebooks, iOS/iPadOS Safari, and Android devices, and says a HoYoverse account is required. Availability depends on the service’s system requirements and regional availability, so check those before relying on cloud play. This is cloud streaming, not a native installation.

No controller requirement is established. HoYoverse’s 2020 PC FAQ said PC supported PS4 and Xbox One/Elite controllers, but that dated statement does not confirm compatibility for every current model or for mobile. Check current support information for a specific controller before buying or troubleshooting it.
