Creating a Genshin Impact account is your first step into the magical world of Teyvat, and I’ll walk you through exactly how to get started on this adventure.
Basic Account Creation Steps
The easiest way to create your account is through the official Genshin Impact website. Head over to genshin.hoyoverse.com and click the “Sign Up” button in the top right corner. You’ll need to provide a valid email address, create a username, and set up a strong password. Make sure your password combines letters, numbers, and special characters – we want to keep your future characters safe!
Choosing Your Server
Here’s something crucial that many new players overlook – server selection. There are four main servers:
– America
– Europe
– Asia
– TW/HK/MO
Pick the server closest to your location for the best connection. Remember, you can’t transfer progress between servers later, so choose wisely!
Platform-Specific Tips
If you’re planning to play on mobile, you can also create your account directly through the game app after downloading it from your app store. PC players should download the game from the official website, while PlayStation users can simply use their PSN account to log in.
Account Security
Let me share a pro tip that I wish someone had told me early on – link your phone number and set up two-factor authentication right away. Genshin Impact accounts can become quite valuable over time, especially if you invest in characters and weapons, so this extra security step is absolutely worth it.
Getting Started in Teyvat
Once your account is created, you’ll be prompted to create a nickname for your in-game character. This can be different from your account username, and you can change it once for free later. You’ll also get to choose between a male or female Traveler – while this choice is permanent, it only affects the main character’s appearance and doesn’t impact gameplay.
Final Tips
Before you dive in, I’d recommend:
– Taking a screenshot of your account details
– Writing down your user ID (you’ll find it in-game)
– Linking all relevant accounts (email, phone, social media) for account recovery options
– Joining the official Discord server for community support
Remember, you can play Genshin Impact across multiple devices using the same account (except PlayStation, which has some limitations), so make sure to remember your login credentials. Welcome to the world of Teyvat, Traveler – you’re in for quite an adventure!
