Learn how to play Genshin Impact on Mac using YAAGL and install the PC version step by step on Apple Silicon Macs.
In this updated Genshin Impact on Mac tutorial, I show you how to:
download YAAGL
check the current supported game version
install the PC version of Genshin Impact on Mac
fix the “developer cannot be verified” warning
change the YAAGL settings you actually need
launch the game and sign in
fix the type error / invalid version issue
fully uninstall YAAGL and Genshin if you need a clean reinstall
Genshin Impact is HoYoverse’s open-world action RPG, and YAAGL is a free launcher that helps Mac users run supported Windows versions of games like Genshin. If you’re watching this right after a new Genshin update drops, make sure to check the current supported version first before installing so you don’t waste time on an unsupported patch.
This video is focused on Apple Silicon Macs. If you’re on Intel, I briefly mention other options in the video as well.
