In one of the most jaw-dropping feats in mobile gaming, a Chinese player has completed Genshin Impact’s notoriously brutal Spiral Abyss Floor 12—all while playing on an Apple Watch Ultra. Yes, you read that right!
This isn’t just for show, either. The player earned a full 9-star score in Version 5.8 of the Abyss, clearing every chamber with deadly precision. The video, originally shared on Chinese platform Bilibili, has since gone viral among the Genshin community, with fans stunned by both the skill and the setup.

How Did They Do It?
No, Genshin Impact hasn’t officially launched for Apple Watch. The player reportedly used remote streaming tech—most likely by syncing their iPhone or PC to the Apple Watch screen—essentially turning the device into a micro gaming console. It’s a workaround, but it clearly works, especially when in the hands of a skilled player.
This technique isn’t new, but few would dare attempt Genshin’s most difficult endgame content on such a tiny screen. And even fewer would flawlessly defeat enemies like the Wayward Hermetic Spiritspeaker or the Gluttonous Yumkasaur Mountain King, which usually require rapid character swapping and precise timing.
Internet Reacts: Skill Over Setup
Comments on Bilibili were full of praise, with reactions like:
“You play better than me on mobile!”
“People who are really good will never complain about the environment.”
It’s a strong reminder that mechanical skill, timing, and game knowledge can beat even the most unforgiving challenges—regardless of what you’re playing on.
Genshin Impact Continues to Evolve
For those who haven’t jumped in yet, Genshin Impact is an open-world action RPG where you explore the elemental fantasy world of Teyvat. Regular updates keep things fresh with new characters, seasonal events, and explorable regions. And yes—it’s completely free-to-play on PC, Xbox, PlayStation 4 & 5, and mobile devices.
So, if someone can clear the Spiral Abyss on a watch, what’s your excuse?
