Genshin Impact has built a massive player within three years of launch but the game has its fair share of mechanics that might compel you to uninstall it. Here’s how to uninstall Genshin Impact on PC, Android, iOS devices, and PlayStation.

Genshin Impact has been at the top of the action RPG genre since its release but this is not to say that the player base has no complaints. While veterans often feel that there’s a lack of end-game content, the mobile community struggles with its massive size. For such players, uninstalling the game is a fairly understandable option.

You might want to uninstall Genshin Impact from your current device if you’re switching to another platform. It is available on mobile, PC, and PlayStation, and despite years of anticipation, we still don’t have a Nintendo Switch version.

Here’s how to uninstall Genshin Impact on PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, and mobile.
