Also, during the first week of release, Genshin Impact had 17 million mobile downloads(Android and iOS combined) and by Android and iOS download would have reached around 22 to 30 Million downloads.
Now as for PC player count goes we do not have any factual data to even estimate a number. If the game was available via steam, our work would have been a lot easier, but since Genshin Impact uses its own launcher we can just put a random estimate. We know many players and streamers use the PC platform to play the game, also we know that Genshin Impact had over 10 Million pre-registration on PC and Mobile. So, we would say that Genshin Impact has atleast around 5 to 10 million players on PC.
