How to Install Genshin Impact on Steam Deck
Installing Genshin Impact on the Steam Deck is like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole, but with a bit of digital magic, it's doable! You'll need to boot your Steam Deck into Desktop Mode first. Once there, download the Windows version of the Genshin Impact installer from the official Genshin Impact website. Then, use a compatibility tool like Proton or Wine to run the installer. It might require some tweaking in the settings to get it running smoothly, so don't be shy to look up specific Proton or Wine configurations others have used for Genshin Impact. Happy gaming!

Honestly? Just don't. Genshin Impact isn't officially supported on Steam Deck and might not run as smoothly as on other platforms. Plus, updates and patches could potentially break it at any time. Stick to games that are confirmed to work well on the Deck.
Got Genshin running on my Steam Deck after some tinkering. Desktop Mode is your friend here, and so is Proton. Make sure to adjust the game's settings for better performance. Took some effort, but it's totally worth it!
