Genshin Impact is the perfect game to take on the go.

No, Genshin Impact is not currently available on Steam Deck. While there are unofficial methods to add the mobile game to the device, it can result in an account ban – making it rather risky.

Unlike the upcoming Nintendo Switch release of Genshin Impact, HoYoverse has yet to reveal any information on whether the popular free-to-play game will release on Steam Deck. 

Is there a Genshin Impact Steam Deck release date?

As of writing, there is no Steam Deck release date. This doesn’t mean there won’t be one in the future, but for now, Travelers will need to wait for further news. 

Genshin Impact Steam Deck leaks

An official Genshin Impact Steam Deck reveal has not been announced, but one eagle-eyed fan spotted something that could point toward a future release. In the screenshot attached above, you can clearly see the Genshin Impact artwork displayed on the Steam Deck screen. 

What makes this screenshot incredibly interesting, is that it was supposedly taken from the official Tokyo Game Show stream. While TGS could have made a mistake when demonstrating what games can be run on the Steam Deck, it has certainly given Genshin Impact fans hope. 

Of course, like all leaks and rumors, we’ll be sure to update this piece as soon as we hear more information. In the meantime, check out our Genshin Impact page for all the latest news and guides.
