As it turns out, the most common age group playing Genshin Impact is a result few expected.
It's undeniable that Genshin Impact, despite some initial issues with updates and new content, has been dominating the global gaming market for almost two years now.
With its captivating cartoonish graphics, infused with a hint of anime, many still perceive Genshin Impact as a game solely for 'kids' - predominantly appealing to students and young adults. However, that assumption couldn't be further from the truth.

Indeed, in an era where everything can be data-driven, claiming that Genshin Impact is only for children lacks any basis. According to the latest statistics, approximately 60% of Genshin Impact players fall within the 25-45 age group, with those under 18 accounting for only about 6%. Additionally, the gender distribution among players is relatively balanced, with a split of around 60-40 between males and females.

Truly, in this age of data, declaring Genshin Impact as a game for children only is entirely unfounded. According to Twitter statistics from the first half of 2022, there were around 1.5 billion tweets related to this game, indicating that the number of Genshin Impact players has likely exceeded 100 million worldwide. These figures alone speak volumes about the game's influence.


Despite its success, miHoYo still faces numerous challenges and headaches. Firstly, most updates for Genshin Impact are often leaked quite early, with some sources even revealing details of the next 10 updates, including an extensive roster of 18 new characters. Additionally, the publisher continues to receive criticism for being somewhat stingy with rewards in its event packages.
