If you want to play Genshin Impact interchangeably on both the PC and Mobile, you must link an existing email address to your game instance. To do this, follow these steps:

 

  • Log into Genshin Impact on your PC or Mobile device.
  • Open the Main Menu.
  • Access Settings.
  • Click Account. From here, click User Center.
  • Click Email. This will send a verification code to the email address you want to associate with the account.
  • Get the verification code and enter it on the in-game verification code window.

Aside from this, you may choose to link your accounts to your Google Play, Apple Play Center, and even Facebook account.

"Linking to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 - PSN And HoYoverse Statuses Affect Instructions"

Linking your HoYoverse account to your PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 follows a similar process as it requires your PlayStation Network account and not necessarily a specific console. From here, there are slightly different steps you need to follow depending on the type of emails or accounts you're planning to link.

 

"Requirements"


Before attempting to connect your HoYoverse account to your PlayStation Network account, or your existing PSN Account to HoYoverse, note these specific requirements in the process:

  • YES: Your PlayStation Network Account hasn't been used to log into Genshin Impact.
  • YES: The email connected to your PSN Account hasn't been used to register a HoYoverse account.
  • NO: A PSN Account that is already logged into Genshin Impact cannot be linked to an email address that is already connected to a HoYoverse account.

"Link a HoYoverse Account to PSN"


If you already have a HoYoverse account (usually if you've started playing with an email on PC or Mobile), here are the steps to connect it to your PlayStation Network account:

  • Install Genshin Impact on your PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5.
  • Launch the game. Since this is your first time launching, you will have a series of on-screen prompts that will eventually lead you to a log-in screen.
  • Wait for the pop-up window. There will be a pop-up window explaining how to link your PSN account to an external email.
  • Complete the steps listed.
    This process only works if you have an existing HoYoverse account but haven't linked your PSN to the game.

"Warning: Skipping the Linking Process on PlayStation"


If you already have progress in your HoYoverse account, make sure you don't skip the linking process. Skipping it will make you register for a new HoYoverse account connected to your PSN account. If you do this, you can no longer connect your PSN to your existing HoYoverse account.


"Link a PSN Account to a Non-HoYoverse Email"


If you have Genshin Impact progress in an existing PlayStation Network Account but want to connect it to your other devices, you can link your PSN Account to a non-HoYoverse email. To do this, complete the following steps:

  • Log in to Genshin Impact on your PlayStation.
  • Go to Settings. From here, select Account, then User Center.
  • Go to Link Account. From here, you can link your current PSN account to another email that isn't associated with a HoYoverse account.
    Once you do this, you can now retain your progress on the same server if you log in to your iOS, Android, or PC with that other email.

"Linking to Xbox Series X/S - Upcoming Feature"

While the game will have a November 2024 launch for the Xbox Series X/S, and there are currently no concrete details on linking accounts for the console, it can be inferred that the process may be similar to that of the PlayStation. Players preparing for the much-awaited Xbox launch are advised to ensure they have an Xbox Live account as it will likely be involved in the process. This information is only based on speculation, however, and it's best to wait for the official instructions.

 

"Cross-Save Functionality - Progress Automatically Carries Over"


After players link their HoYoverse account across their platforms, their Genshin Impact progress should be shared in all instances on these devices. It should be noted that cross-save only works if you're playing on the same server and the same account across your devices.
