About Genshin Impact

Genshin Impact is an action-based RPG developed and published by miHoYo. It includes a fantasy open-world environment and an action-based battle mechanism which uses elemental powers. The co-op game also uses Gacha monetization to obtain new characters, weapons, and other resources.

The game is free to play on Android, iOS, PC, and PS4. It currently supports cross-platform play for mobile and PC users, although cross-server won't be possible for now.

Since the ban of PUBG Mobile in India, its huge playerbase has constantly been looking for alternatives. Several players have moved to FreeFire and Call of Duty Mobile for esports. Genshin Impact might witness a singnificant growth in playerbase if players choose this game for the sake of fun and entertainment as well.

Due to the absence of PUBG Mobile in India, the PUBG Mobile downloads have already faced a downfall. PUBG, which currently falters, was one of the most top consistent rank holders in the 'Most Downloaded Games list.'
