What is Genshin Impact Cloud?

Genshin Impact Cloud is the cloud version of the popular RPG and allows users to experience it without downloading the entire package. It runs the game on a remote device and players can access it via the internet using a client application which requires only a fraction of space.

This works similarly to streaming a video and delivers high graphics and framerates. Moreover, it also eliminates the need for costly hardware and dedicated storage space.

Currently, travelers can use the cloud gaming option on the following platforms:

• Windows PC
• iOS App Store
• Google Play

Additionally, the use of the cloud version is limited to certain countries including the US and Canada. Here is a list of all the regions where you can use it:

• US
• Canada
• Singapore
• Malaysia
• Indonesia
• Thailand
• Philippines
• Laos
• Cambodia
• Bangladesh
• Myanmar

While it can be lucrative to opt for the cloud version, thanks to the aforementioned advantages, it may not be feasible for all due to the current pricing.

Genshin Impact Cloud will charge users 10 Cloud Coins for every minute played. This means they will need to spend around 600 Coins for an hour's worth of gameplay.

Here is how much the Cloud Coin bundles cost in USD:

• 1800 Cloud Coins: $1.99 (3 hours)
• 5500 Cloud Coins: $5.99 (9 hours)
• 9300 Cloud Coins: $9.99 (15 hours+)
• 14000 Cloud Coins: $14.99 (23 hours+)

Alternatively, players can also purchase a Cloud Pass for $20 which facilitates cloud gaming for 30 days.

Considering the title can be experienced in a F2P manner, it's likely that many may not agree with the idea of spending real money in exchange for playtime. However, they should note that currently, the cloud version offers a free five-hour trial. Additionally, it will offer 15 minutes of trial every day for a total of 600 minutes.
