Play Genshin Impact on Mac with BlueStacks

Can you play Genshin Impact on Mac with BlueStacks?

BlueStacks is a compatibility software that allows Mac and PC users to run Android applications and games, such as Genshin Impact, on their computers. It’s an easy and hassle-free way to play Genshin Impact on a Mac that doesn’t require you to install or emulate Windows on the computer. Note that the Genshin Impact version you’d be playing through BlueStacks will be the one for Android. This means that you’ll need a controller to play the game in this way, because the Android version uses a controller-based input scheme rather than conventional desktop controls.

BlueStacks Requirements

Another important thing to mention is that BlueStacks has some pretty specific requirements about the types of Macs it can be used on:

• The Mac can’t be older than 2014
• The Mac must have an Intel chip (doesn’t work on M1/M2 Macs)
• The operating system must be macOS 10.12 (Sierra) or newer, but can’t be macOS 12 (Monterey) or macOS 13 (Ventura).

These requirements are quite limiting, but there are still many users with Macs that meet them, and if you are among them, you can use this app to install and play Genshin Impact on your Apple machine.

On the other hand, if your MacBook or desktop Mac doesn’t fit the description, there are still ways to play this game on it, such as cloud gaming services like Boosteroid and GeForce Now:
