According to the recent leaks, the Genshin Impact Epic Games Store listing in the market’s back-end could hint at a change in the game’s PC launcher in the near future.
Genshin Impact has surely been one of the most successful free-to-play titles of 2020 that hasn’t lost its magic yet. The game’s community is growing day after day on various platforms, thanks to the developer’s continuous content support.

Recently, some leaks from the Epic Games Store back-end revealed that the name miHoYo listed for two different titles. miHoYo is the studio behind Genshin Impact and Hokai Impact. While both games should be played through the official miHoYo launcher on PC, it’s yet to be seen what this listing could mean.
Is the Genshin Impact Epic Games Store Exclusivity Possible?
A hefty exclusivity deal between miHoYo and Epic Games to bring the PC version of Genshin Impact on EGS is our best guess. However, some believe that miHoYo’s next title, codenamed Project X, is going to launch on Epic Games Store and that’s why the back-end data from EGS showcases the name of miHoYo as a developer.

Why Do Epic Games Need to Spend A Lot of Money for Such an Exclusivity?
Genshin Impact has been a commercial success for its developers in less than a year since its launch on PS4, PC, and mobiles. Recent financial data from Sensor Tower revealed that the game has earned over $1 billion through in-game purchases only on mobile devices. With such an incredible revenue, it would be hard for Epic Games to convince miHoYo to change their PC launcher unless with a hefty contract that benefits the Asian developers.
Genshin Impact is supposed to be released on Nintendo Switch and PS5 in the future, but you can now play it for free on Android and iOS devices as well as PS4 and PC.
