Genshin Impact UGC Gameplay System Lets Us Make Games

HoYoVerse announced UGC gameplay system for Genshin Impact, which will involve a creation editor with tools that allow players to become creators of game stages or interact in social spaces. It is still in development, so there’s no release window yet. However, the company did note that it will open up playtests for us to test out the features as time goes on.

In the announcement, HoYoVerse mentioned the Genshin Impact UGC element will be an editor that allows someone to create different kinds of game stages, much like we did in events like Divine Ingenuity, only with more varied options and assets otherwise found in the title as creation assets. It noted that some of the genres that will be possible will be adventure, party games, simulation, and survival challenges. It also said that we’ll be able to make either single-player or co-op multiplayer stages. After making stages, we will be able to share them with others. However, it will also be possible to just play games others mode.

HoYoVerse also teased “shared social spaces.” It said this will be a sort of multiplayer lobby. This will be designed to allow further connection between those who use the Genshin Impact UGC system.

Genshin Impact is available for the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, PC, and mobile devices, though the PS4 version will be delisted on September 10, 2025 and totally unsupported as of April 8, 2026.
