A few hours ago, the official Genshin Impact (Free) account posted about some visual changes coming to Genshin Impact version 5.0. A date was not given, but this major update will see upgraded visuals and game functions. To make sure the minimum requirements don’t change much, the team will be making some cutbacks to certain mobile devices and the PS4/PS4 Pro systems. These cutbacks include the resolution, effect range of some special effects, and more decreasing. The devices that will be impacted by this are iOS devices with A12 or lower, Android models listed here, and both PS4 and PS4 Pro systems. I’m curious to see what visual improvements are coming, and I imagine we could possibly learn about some as soon as at WWDC or the next iPhone event since HoYoverse has been a big showcase for Apple.

If you’d like to play Genshin Impact and don’t own it yet, you can download it for free on the App Store for iOS here and on Google Play for Android here. The PC version is available on the official website here and the Epic Games Store. If you play on iOS, with iOS 14.5 or iPadOS 14.5 and later, you can use PS5 and Xbox Series X|S controllers to play Genshin Impact. We featured Genshin Impact as our Game of the Week when it released and awarded it our 2020 Game of the Year. I also featured it as one of the best iOS games to play with a controller. What do you think of Genshin Impact 4.6 if you played it following its recent release?
