Genshin Impact has been around since September 2020 and it’s become the most popular mobile and console MMO. The game has kept players occupied for the majority of the pandemic with its Breath of the Wild-style open-world environment and battle system. So popular, in fact, that it’s become the most talked-about game on Twitter one year later.
