Steam Deck: Genshin Impact (Download, Install, Configure & More)

NOTE: Word on the street (untested) is that this once again works for v3.7. Thanks to everyone that reported it.

By request, we install, configure, change to non-english languages and even offer a tutorial on how to clean the game off your Steam Deck completely.

If you’ve tried installing this game and received NOT ENOUGH FREE SPACE errors? This tutorial is for you, too.

Warning: This tutorial – while 15 minutes long – actually takes 2+ hours to get to a point to actually play the game. Don’t start unless you have free time.

I beg of you – use a mouse and keyboard for this tutorial.
