iOS users who pre-installed the update should experience minimal additional download times; however, the game may require some time to reorganize existing resources upon login. New players can download Genshin Impact for free on the App Store for iOS here, Google Play for Android here, or the PC version via the official website here and the Epic Games Store. iOS users with iOS 14.5 or iPadOS 14.5 and later can utilize PS5 and Xbox Series X|S controllers for enhanced gameplay. Previously, we highlighted Genshin Impact as our Game of the Week upon its release and awarded it our 2020 Game of the Year accolade. It also received recognition as one of the best iOS games compatible with controllers. What are your initial thoughts on Genshin Impact 5.0?
