How to Get Genshin Impact on Your Steam Deck
First off, you gotta remember Genshin Impact isn't directly available on the Steam store. But don't worry, getting it on your Steam Deck is still possible and pretty straightforward. You just need to enable Desktop Mode on your Steam Deck, then install the Windows version of Genshin Impact using a web browser. Basically, treat your Steam Deck like a regular PC and install the game from the Genshin Impact official website. After that, switch back to Gaming Mode, and you should be able to add Genshin Impact as a non-Steam game to your library. Voila!

Actually, just use the Discover Store app in Desktop Mode to install Wine, then you can run the Genshin Impact launcher like on any Linux desktop. Short and sweet.
Honestly, why bother? Just play it on your phone or PC. Genshin's not optimized for Steam Deck and it's a hassle. Save yourself the trouble.
