These are the official minimum and recommended system requirements for Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, Zenless Zone Zero and Wuthering Waves on PC, Android and iOS, plus Mac for Wuthering Waves. Every number comes straight from the publishers, HoYoverse and Kuro Games, and for Zenless Zone Zero on PC from the game’s Steam page. Everything is current as of 20 October 2026. We have not added our own benchmarks, frame rates or “it should run on…” guesses.
PC requirements
All four games need 64-bit Windows 10 or newer. The biggest difference is memory: Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail and Zenless Zone Zero start at 8 GB of RAM, while Wuthering Waves asks for 16 GB even at minimum.
| Game | Minimum | Recommended | Storage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Genshin Impact | Windows 10 64-bit, 6th gen Intel Core i5 or AMD Ryzen, 8 GB RAM, GeForce GTX 1050 (or integrated Intel Iris Xe), DirectX 11 | Windows 10/11 64-bit, 7th gen Intel Core i7 or AMD Ryzen 5000, 16 GB RAM, GeForce GTX 1060 6GB, DirectX 11 | not stated by HoYoverse |
| Honkai: Star Rail | Windows 10 64-bit, Intel i5-4460 or AMD equivalent, 8 GB RAM, GeForce GTX 1050, DirectX 11 | Windows 10 64-bit, Intel i7-9700 or AMD equivalent, 16 GB RAM, GeForce GTX 1060 6GB | not stated by HoYoverse |
| Zenless Zone Zero | Windows 10 64-bit, 7th gen Intel Core i5, 8 GB RAM, GeForce GTX 970, DirectX 11 | 10th gen Intel Core i7, 8 GB RAM, GeForce GTX 1660 | 75 GB (Steam), HDD supported, SSD recommended |
| Wuthering Waves | Windows 10 64-bit, 9th gen Intel i5 or Ryzen 2700, GeForce 1060 / RX 570 / Intel Arc A380, 16 GB RAM | 9th gen Intel i7 or Ryzen 3700, GeForce 2060 / RX 5700 XT / Arc A750, 16 GB RAM | 100 GB according to Kuro Games, SSD recommended |
For Genshin Impact, HoYoverse published these requirements as valid from the “Song of the Welkin Moon” version. It has not added an updated storage figure yet, so we do not list one either. The Honkai: Star Rail requirements are taken from the version 4.6 notice. For Zenless Zone Zero we use the current data on the game’s Steam store page.
If you want to play Wuthering Waves on PC with a controller, Kuro Games officially supports Xbox and Xbox Elite controllers, DualSense and DualSense Edge (wired and wireless) and the DualShock 4 in wired mode only.
Android requirements
On Android it mostly comes down to the chipset and RAM. Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail do not support PowerVR graphics (Star Rail makes an exception for the Imagination D-Series).
| Game | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| Genshin Impact | 64-bit ARMv8-A, Snapdragon 660 / Helio G88 or better, 4 GB RAM, Android 10+ | Snapdragon 855 / Dimensity 1000 / Kirin 980, 6 GB RAM, Android 12+ |
| Honkai: Star Rail | Snapdragon 835 / Dimensity 720 / Kirin 810, 4 GB RAM, Android 9+ | Snapdragon 870 / Dimensity 1300 / Kirin 9000, 6 GB RAM |
| Zenless Zone Zero (launch requirements from 2024) | Snapdragon 855 / Dimensity 1200 / Kirin 990, 8 GB RAM, Android 11+ or HarmonyOS 4.0+ | Snapdragon 888 / Dimensity 8200 / Kirin 9000, 8 GB RAM |
| Wuthering Waves | Snapdragon 835 / MediaTek G71/72, 4 GB RAM, Android 7.0+, 60 GB storage | Snapdragon 8 Gen1+ / Gen2 / Gen3, 6 GB RAM |
iPhone and iPad requirements
| Game | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| Genshin Impact | iPhone 8 Plus / iPhone X or newer (A11 chip), iPad with A12, 3 GB RAM, iOS 13+ | iPhone 12 / 9th gen iPad (A13), 4 GB RAM |
| Honkai: Star Rail | iPhone 8 Plus or newer, 7th gen iPad, iOS 13+ | iPhone 11 or newer, 9th gen iPad |
| Zenless Zone Zero (launch requirements from 2024) | iPhone XS / iPad with A12, 4 GB RAM, iOS 14+ | iPhone 11 Pro / iPad with A13 |
| Wuthering Waves | iPhone 11 / iPad with A13, 4 GB RAM, iOS 14+, 60 GB storage | iPhone 13 / iPad with A15, 6 GB RAM, iOS 15+ |
Genshin Impact on iOS supports Bluetooth controllers, but you need iOS 14 or newer for that. The Zenless Zone Zero mobile requirements come from HoYoverse’s official FAQ for the game’s 2024 launch. HoYoverse has not published a newer table, and the App Store currently lists iOS 14.0 as the minimum.
Wuthering Waves on Mac
Of the four games, only Wuthering Waves lists Mac as an official platform. You get it from the App Store, and Kuro Games has published separate requirements for it:
- Minimum: macOS 12.0, Apple M1, 16 GB RAM.
- Recommended: macOS 15.0, Apple M3, 16 GB RAM.
- Storage: 150 GB.
Consoles and what the tables leave out
On consoles there are no requirements to check, only whether the game is available. Genshin Impact runs on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, Honkai: Star Rail on PlayStation 5, Zenless Zone Zero on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, and so does Wuthering Waves. The full platform list and how to carry your progress between devices are in our guide to platforms and cross-save.
The install size of Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail is missing on purpose, because HoYoverse does not state it officially. Do not go by Genshin’s App Store size either: that is only the first package, and the game downloads the rest of its data after launch. New versions also take up extra space. How big the Zenless Zone Zero 3.3 download is on each platform, for example, is listed in our overview of current versions.
You can also check the current requirements with the publishers directly on the official sites of Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail and Wuthering Waves. How the banners in these games work is explained in our guide to gacha and pity.
