How to Remove Genshin Impact on PC, Mobile, and PlayStation

Despite building a massive player base within three years of launch, Genshin Impact has its fair share of mechanics that may lead some players to uninstall the game.

Although the process is not complex, each device has its own set of instructions. Therefore, if you wish to remove HoYoverse’s RPG, here are the necessary steps.

Uninstalling Genshin Impact on PC
