Ever wondered how you can take a breather while playing Genshin Impact on your PC without quitting the game? Well, you’re not alone! Let’s talk about how to pause Genshin Impact on your PC.

So, you’re deep into a thrilling adventure in Genshin Impact but suddenly need to step away. The big question pops up: How do you pause the game on PC?

Pressing ESC is Your Go-To

Here’s the simple answer: Pressing the ESC key on your keyboard is your quick fix to pausing Genshin Impact on PC. This action brings up the main menu, effectively pausing any immediate gameplay. However, it’s important to note that this doesn’t pause the game in real-time during multiplayer modes or certain in-game events.

While the ESC key gives you a break during solo play, remember that Genshin Impact’s world keeps turning when you’re in co-op mode. So, find a safe spot before hitting ESC if you’re adventuring with friends!
