Genshin Impact's latest update will be released soon, and many new players are trying out the game as its first anniversary comes to a close. With such an influx of users, capitalizing on the game's multi-platform options is important.

Here are all the places where players can enjoy the hit game as of update 2.2.

1) Genshin Impact on PC

Players have several options when it comes to downloading Genshin Impact on PC. The easiest one is through the game's official launcher, which they can find on the miHoYo website.

Once the download is complete, the launcher will install the game and allow for easy preloading along with installation of future updates.

Another option for PC players is to download the game through the Epic Games launcher. This option is definitely useful for fans of Fortnite who already have the Epic Games launcher installed.

For Android users, heading to the Google Play Store is generally the easiest way to pick up the game. Once the base file has been downloaded, it will begin installing additional updates, so patience is key.

Gamers on Samsung phones can also opt to download the game from the Galaxy Store. While Google Play does offer extra bonuses for P2W (play-to-win) players, some may prefer the Galaxy Store option.

For those on Apple phones, installing the game is as simple as heading to the App Store and tapping the download button. Additionally, it has been lauded by the App Store, winning Game of the Year and having a healthy playerbase.

The game runs well on newer Apple products, and fans should have an easy time beginning their journey.

3) Genshin Impact on PlayStation

Downloading Genshin Impact on PlayStation consoles is pretty easy, as long as fans know how to use the PlayStation store. Players just need to use the search option and the game should pop up quickly.

From there, it's just a matter of selecting the Add to Library button and downloading the files.
