Q: How do I link my Steam account with my HoYoverse account?
A: When logging into Zenless Zone Zero via Steam for the first time, Proxies will need to link their Steam account with their HoYoverse ID. You can follow the in-game guidance and complete the account linking process using one of the following two methods.
Option 1: If you have already created a HoYoverse ID, we recommend using that to log in. When you launch Zenless Zone Zero for the first time on Steam, select "Login with existing HoYoverse ID," and then link up your existing HoYoverse ID with your Steam account as per the prompts.
Option 2: Use your Steam account to create a new HoYoverse ID. When you launch Zenless Zone Zero for the first time on Steam, select "Create HoYoverse ID now" to log in to the game.
Q: If I link an existing HoYoverse account, will the Steam version of Zenless Zone Zero inherit my progress from other platforms?A: Yes, your progress will carry over. This Steam advance test uses the official version of Zenless Zone Zero. If the HoYoverse account you link already has an existing Zenless Zone Zero game account, your progress will transfer to the Steam version once the link is complete. Since the Steam version of Zenless Zone Zero supports America, Europe, Asia, and TW/HK/MO servers, Proxies should confirm after linking that they've selected the correct server where their existing progress is stored.

If you created a new account on the Steam version of Zenless Zone Zero and wish to play Zenless Zone Zero on other platforms, please ensure that your HoYoverse account has an email address linked to it. If no email is linked, you can complete the linking process in the User Center webpage. Once linked, you can log in on other platforms using your email address.
Q: How do I unlink my Steam account from my HoYoverse account?
A: You can log in to the User Center webpage and complete the unlinking process on the linked accounts page by following the guide. Please note that before unlinking, you must ensure that the HoYoverse account linked to that Steam account has an email address linked to it, otherwise unlinking will not be possible.
