How to easily view your playtime in Genshin Impact on all platforms

The open-world co-op manga game from China hit the world by storm in 2020, and it’s still going strong. It’s never too late to start the adventure, and when you enter the world of Teyvat, you are hardly going to leave any time soon! To keep track of the time invested, the game doesn’t offer you in-game tracking solutions like the in-game overlay you can find in our guide on how to show game time in For Honor.This means you have to rely on third-party methods. Since the game is available for PS, Android, iOS, and PC, we provide you with a step-by-step guide for all.

How to view hours played, check game time for Genshin Impact on PC using Epic Games Launcher

Genshin Impact is available for PC with its launcher, but if you want to check how many hours you’ve spent in-game, you should add the game to your Epic Games library. It’s free to play, and you can use your Hoyoverse account to continue the game where you left. Here is how you can check your playtime in Epic Games:

Genshin Impact gametime in Epic Games launcher
  1. Start the Epic Games launcher. It might take a while to be useable because patching takes some time. You may also need to log in if you’ve logged out.
  2. Go to the Library page to see all the games you’ve added to your Epic Games collection.
  3. Select Genshin Impact on the list, and you can view the time you've spent in the game on the right. The “...” icon shows some additional info, like install size (in this case, it only calculates the launcher’s size) and version.
  4. You can also view the playtime by clicking on the "..." icon if the view is set to grid view.
