If you’re one of the massive fans of Genshin Impact and want to find a way to play it on your Steam, you’re here at the right place.
Even though it’s not officially confirmed about the release date of the Genshin Impact Steam edition, we believe this game will be available on Steam in the future.
It may take a longer time than expected anyway.
Genshin Impact enables players to download and play the game through a variety of platforms, but travelers on PC will be still wondering whether miHoYo’s open-world game is available on Steam or not and when to launch it officially.
In this ultimate guide, you’ll know if Genshin Impact is on Steam or not, when Genshin Impact Steam will be released, and how to play Genshin Impact Steam Edition.
Sadly no. As of writing, Genshin Impact is not currently available on Steam. Even though this game is playable on multiple platforms on PC, Mobile, and PlayStation – It’s just downloadable through the official launcher, Epic Games Store, PlayStation Store, and various app stores.
But this doesn’t mean Genshin Impact Steam Edition will not be available in the future. After all, Honkai Impact 3rd – another game from miHoYo recently hit Valve’s client last year, enabling PC players to download and play this mobile title through Steam.
The sad truth is that there are no hints that the Genshin Impact is going to be available on Steam soon. The release date of Genshin Impact Steam Edition is not officially announced and confirmed.
Whether Genshin Impact will be added to Steam in the future remains to be seen, but we’ll update this section as soon as we get more information.
As far as we know, the Genshin Impact official does not even mention a Steam version till now. Only released a Nintendo Switch trailer in 2020, along with the spokesman talking about the Genshin Impact Nintendo Switch Edition is under development.
However, the official still does not confirm the release of the Nintendo Switch version almost two years after its announcement, not even mentioning the Mac or Xbox version, which the console players are really eager to have on.
The developer – miHoYo, is busy following its promise to finish the Genshin Impact roadmap, with a regular update for new characters, artifacts, weapons, and other common but essential things to keep the players keen on exploring the adventures.
Genshin Impact Steam Edition is not available right now, but this does not mean you can’t play Genshin Impact on Steam.
Fortunately, there is a way to get Genshin Impact on Steam, allowing you to access all of Steam’s features without needing to be officially integrated.
As a matter of fact, adding Genshin Impact to your Steam library is pretty simple. Just simply follow the instructions outlined below.
You can download Genshin Impact free from its official website free and install it on your PC. Before you install the game on your PC, please make sure your PC meets the following Genshin Impact minimum requirements:
Once that’s all downloaded and installed, open up Steam and log into your account.
Click on ‘Games’ in the top left hand corner.
Select the ‘Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library’ option.
Locate Genshin Impact from the folder screen.
Click the checkbox to finally ‘add selected programs’.
And that’s it. It’s not the same as a dedicated Steam page, but it helps you keep everything in one spot, plus you can even add your own custom artwork so Genshin Impact looks the part in your library.
But please note that this method only adds a shortcut of the game into the Steam client and it will not allow you to download updates for the game through Steam.
Yes, even the game is not officially released on Steam right now.
Travelers can play Genshin Impact on Steam.
Genshin Impact isn’t available on Steam right now. For whatever reason, Mihoyo wants to restrict PC downloads to its own client. There have been no announcements about the game coming to Steam either, so it looks like the above option is going to be the only way to play the game on PC for a while.
