Genshin Impact is one of the most popular games in the gaming world.
When players start playing it, they have a variety of questions regarding the game.
One of the most common questions is regarding the data usage of Genshin Impact.
They can't help but wonder, how much internet data does Genshin Impact actually use?
The average data usage of Genshin Impact is around 20-30 MB per hour, provided that the player plays both co-op and story quests.
Also, compared to co-op, story quests use a lesser amount of data.
In this article, I've answered this particular question in more detail.
So, without any ado, let's start!
How much Internet data does Genshin Impact use?
To find out the data usage of Genshin Impact, I did some research.
I asked all of my friends who play the game, to monitor the data usage of the game when they play it.
Meanwhile, I've also kept an eye on the data usage of Genshin Impact on my device.
All of us played the game for one hour at a stretch and recorded the data usage.
Then, I found out that the data usage on the different devices was in the range of 25-30 MB.
But, on the majority of the devices, the data used was around 27 MB.
Therefore, we can conclude that the data usage of Genshin Impact is around 27 MB per hour.
If one plays Genshin Impact for one hour every day in a week, the internet data used would be around 189 MB in one week.
Similarly, if one plays the game for one hour every day in a month, the internet data used would be around 810 MB in one month.
I also found out that, when one plays story quest for one hour at a stretch, the total internet data used is in the range of 15-25 MB.
Likewise, when one plays co-op for one hour at a stretch, the total data usage of the game is in the range of 50-60 MB.
From here, we can also conclude that story quests in Genshin use around 15-25 MB of data per hour and, co-op consumes around 50-60 MB of data per hour.
Now, to help you figure out the total internet data usage of Genshin Impact on your device, I've prepared a table based on the same.
I've done the required math so that you don't have to!
Following is the required table:
| Playtime per day | Data usage per day | Data usage per week | Data usage per month |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 hour | 27 MB | 189 MB | 810 MB |
| 2 hours | 54 MB | 378 MB | 1.58 GB |
| 3 hours | 81 MB | 567 MB | 2.37 GB |
| 4 hours | 108 MB | 756 MB | 3.16 GB |
| 5 hours | 135 MB | 945 MB | 3.95 GB |
| 6 hours | 162 MB | 1.1 GB | 4.74 GB |
| 7 hours | 189 MB | 1.29 GB | 5.53 GB |
Note: The data usage per hour of Genshin Impact has been taken as 27 MB in the table.
Conclusion
In this article, I've answered one of the most common questions that come into the players' minds regarding the data usage of Genshin Impact.
Now, I'd like to hear from you:
Do you play Genshin Impact on an internet plan with fixed data usage? If yes, what's the limit?
Or, you might have a question.
