If you’re wondering how much power you’ll need to run Genshin Impact on your PC, here are the minimum and recommended PC requirements for the game.

Even though Genshin Impact initially had a humble scope and was less taxing on release, the content added over time has more than tripled the storage requirements as the world of Teyvat has become more expansive and vibrant.

At launch, the game only had two relatively short regions, Liyue and Mondstadt, both of which were modest in size and had 22 characters. Now Genshin Impact features five regions and 70-plus characters, and the upcoming update will add even more.

So, what does all that mean in terms of system requirements for Genshin Impact? Here are all the minimum and recommended PC requirements for the game.
