Despite not being a method approved by MiHoYo (the company behind Genshin Impact), some users and video game developers have managed to play Genshin Impact from a smartwatch. Let's see how it was achieved transport a game like Genshin Impact inside a smartwatch and if it is viable to play this way.
A milestone for the gaming community
The community of gamers and game developers has no limits. All gamers have been surprised by the news, you can play Genshin Impact on a smartwatch. This is really a milestone in the development of wearables but, Is there really interest in players to play from the clock? or it will simply remain as an anecdote.
And it is that playing a game like Genshin Impact, which has spectacular graphics, on a screen just over one inch it is not practical. In fact, as pointed out Chinese game developer MlgmXyysd, if you play on a watch with a circular screen you lose a lot of information from the game's HUD on the screen. She recommends using a watch with a square screen like the OPPO Watch 4 Pro.
In the past, those of us who are most fond of the world of gaming were able to see how Fortnite could be played from the smart watch, but there was a catch since it was controlled from the mobile phone. In the event that you want to play Genshin Impact on the watch, it can be done and controlled from the smartwatch itself, although It is somewhat impractical have the screen that the watch has.
Even if it works, it is not feasible to play Genshin Impact on a smartwatch
It is not feasible to play Genshin Impact on a smartwatch, this is easy to understand since the reasons can be seen with the naked eye. We would no longer only have the inconvenience of playing on a very small screen and that it does not show all the information of the game, but rather we find more limitations.
The controls are imprecise and incomplete. And not only that, but Finding a compatible smartwatch device is not easy. Thanks to the information we have from those who have already tried this method, Genshin Impact can be played on the OPPO Watch 4 Pro and the OPPO Watch 2. We do not know what other wearable devices the game can be played on.
In addition to these limitations, this milestone of the gaming community cannot be easily replicated since you need to play Genshin Impact from the cloud version which is only available in China. Of course, if you want to connect to the game servers in China, you must get the Chinese edition of the game, which is not on Google Play. Can access the Chinese and cloud version of Genshin Impact here.
In short, this news will have more weight due to the fact of playing a game with these characteristics from the smartwatch than for any other reason. And it is normal since this milestone sets a precedent for video game companies to value the idea of ​​offering portability of their games to smart watches. Who knows if in the future we will end up playing from our wrist and not from our mobile phone itself.
