Genshin Impact remains HoYoverse's flagship free-to-play action RPG, available across console and mobile platforms since its 2020 launch. The game continues to expand with major content updates following completed story arcs.
Version 7.0 is set to arrive with visual enhancements while maintaining current system requirements across supported platforms. Leaks surrounding the update suggest the introduction of a third-person shooter mode in the upcoming Snezhnaya region, featuring firearms and grenades alongside traditional combat mechanics. The update will extend the ongoing free 5-star constellation event with newly added characters, while HoYoverse has partnered with multiple brands including Crunchyroll for promotional collaborations tied to Snezhnaya's arrival.
The franchise continues to dominate the free-to-play space; while HoYoverse's newer title Zenless Zone Zero reached $600 million in mobile revenue within two years, it represents only a fraction of Genshin Impact's ongoing earnings, underscoring the original's sustained commercial strength.
