Genshin Impact takes place in the fantasy world of Teyvat, home to seven nations, each of which is tied to a different element and ruled by a different god. The base game is expanded regularly through patches using the games as a service model. The game is free-to-play and is monetized through gacha game mechanics through which players can obtain new characters and weapons. The game features an anime-style open-world environment and an action-based battle system using elemental magic and character-switching.

It was released for Android, iOS, PlayStation 4, and Windows in 2020, on PlayStation 5 in 2021, and is set for release on Nintendo Switch. Genshin Impact is an action role-playing game developed by miHoYo, published by miHoYo in mainland China and by HoYoverse worldwide.
