Genshin Impact’s full Windows Desktop version is FINALLY is able to be played on Mac! Not sideloading, no keymapping, just plain simple desktop Genshin Impact. Big thanks to 3Shain for developing this amazing piece of software. If you need tech support make sure to check the YAAGL Discord – link is on their Github page.

Edit: It looks like it’s been several days since Mihoyo has now allowed users to launch the game without any form of anticheat, so I’ve re-included Genshin Impact in the title to help promote this project.

Edit: There was a Rosetta 2 bug which was fixed on macOS Sonoma 14.3, make sure to update.

Big thanks to Ugreen for sponsoring this video! #ugreen

  2. Hi Andrew! First of all, many thanks for the tutorial. Then, just a tiny question: how long does the launching of the game take approximately? I have been stuck in the page "Game is running (DO NOT CLOSE THE LAUNCHER)" for 20 minutes now. I am a Mac M1 user and I downloaded Release 0.1.5 as the latest one is not compatible with M1. Thank you!

  6. Heyyy I have an M1 iMac and ive done everything in this video but now it's taking up 268GB on my System Data in my storage and id like to get rid of it. I tried putting it in the bin and emptying it, using the terminal to delete it and I even went through my hidden files in the finder and even though it deleted the application it didn't delete the data, so id appreciate some help with deleting it. (The 269GB aren't just bcs of the game, but at least 100GB of it are) also whenever I redownload Yaagl I don't have to download everything again and it just says launch game
