Genshin Impact APK 7.2.0

What is Genshin Impact?

Genshin Impact is an open-world action RPG from HoYoverse. You play as the Traveler, searching across the fantasy world of Teyvat for a lost sibling. You explore huge regions inspired by real-world cultures, climb almost anything, glide, swim, solve puzzles, cook and fight using a party of four characters, each wielding one of seven elements. Combining elements, like Pyro and Hydro, triggers powerful reactions.

Genshin launched in September 2020 and has passed 100 million downloads on Google Play. It's published by COGNOSPHERE PTE. LTD., HoYoverse's publishing company, and it's one of the role-playing games we list.

Key features

Open world

Explore regions such as Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, Sumeru, Fontaine, Natlan and newer areas. Each has its own story, music, puzzles and secrets.

Elemental combat

Switch between four party members during a fight. Each uses an element, and combining them, like freezing enemies with Cryo and Hydro or burning them with Pyro and Dendro, is key to winning.

Characters and wishes

Unlock characters through the story and through wishes, Genshin's gacha banners. Level up characters, weapons and artifacts to make your team stronger.

Co-op

Play with up to three friends in open-world exploration, domains and bosses from Adventure Rank 16.

Cross-save

Your HoYoverse account syncs progress between Android, iPhone, PC and PlayStation.

Tips for new players

• Follow the Archon Quests. They unlock new regions, features and free characters.
• Use your Resin wisely. Spend it every day on talent books, weapon materials or artifacts for the characters you use most.
• Don't spread resources thin. Build one strong team of four before levelling others.
• Open every chest and Oculus. Exploration gives Primogems, the currency for wishes.
• Save wishes for characters you want. Thanks to pity, saving for a limited banner is more reliable than wishing on everything.
• Lower graphics for long sessions. Lower settings reduce heat and battery drain on phones.

How to install Genshin Impact APK on Android

The easiest option is Genshin Impact on Google Play.

1. Check that your phone runs Android 6.0 or newer.
2. Open Google Play, search for Genshin Impact, and make sure the developer is COGNOSPHERE PTE. LTD..
3. Tap Install, then open the game. After installing, the game downloads its main resources inside the app. Use Wi-Fi and keep tens of gigabytes free.
4. Sign in or link an account in the game's settings, so your progress is saved if you change phones.

Without Google Play, install the official game carefully: get it only from Google Play or the developer, allow your browser or file manager to Install unknown apps when Android asks, then turn that permission off again under Settings → Apps → Special app access → Install unknown apps. Online games need the latest version, so outside Play you'll have to update by hand. APKPeer currently links to Google Play only and doesn't host a file for this game.

Is Genshin Impact APK safe?

The official Genshin Impact from Google Play is safe. It's published by COGNOSPHERE PTE. LTD., rated Teen for fantasy violence and alcohol references, has no ads, and offers in-app purchases from $0.99 to $99.99 per item.

• Gacha spending. Wishes are random, which makes spending easy to lose track of. Set a budget, use purchase authentication in Google Play, and remember that free players can finish all story content.
• Account security. Link your account to an email and turn on extra verification in your HoYoverse account. Never share your login with "account boosting" services.
• Unofficial versions. Private servers and modified APKs aren't from HoYoverse, can carry malware, and lead to permanent bans. Use only Google Play or HoYoverse's official site.

Genshin Impact vs alternatives

• Honkai: Star Rail is HoYoverse's turn-based space fantasy RPG, lighter on phones and quicker to play daily.
• Pokémon GO gets you exploring the real world instead of a fantasy one.
• Minecraft offers a different kind of open world, where you build everything yourself.

Genshin Impact is one of the most impressive games on Android, with a vast world to explore for free. Make sure your phone has the storage and power it needs, and set a spending limit before you start wishing.
