With The Game Awards still looming on the horizon, Genshin Impact earned a first win at the 2022 Golden Joystick Awards for the Still Playing category. It managed to beat out other fan-favorite titles including The Sims 4, Minecraft and Final Fantasy XIV, marking the game's first major win of the year.
Developer HoYoverse's cross-platform open-world masterpiece was released around the turn of the century, having dominated the mobile gaming sphere for its charming graphics, new gameplay mechanics, and unparalleled production quality.

It also managed to win the Apple Design Awards for Visuals and Graphics 2021 and Best Mobile Game at The Game Awards 2021.

The developer hasn't handed out any thank you gifts, but players can watch out for in-game mail in the coming weeks just in case.
