One of the most popular ways to appreciate the beauty of Genshin Impact is to have them as wallpaper on everyday devices. Aside from providing in-game scenarios for everyone to explore, there are various ways to set any Genshin character as a cover on either PC or mobile.

To do that, HoYovers has a particular application prepared for everyone to keep some of their fan-favorite characters captured. The application in question here is the N0va Desktop Software, which is free for everyone, holding both static and live wallpapers on various HoYoverse titles across the years.

Released on November 4, 2021, it quickly gained popularity due to its easy accessibility and wide range of collections across four HoYoverse titles.
