Whoa, okay, let’s dive into this whole Genshin Impact situation. It’s like one of those days where nothing goes as planned, right? So, the game’s about to go through some intense changes. If you’re hanging onto an old PlayStation 4, well, things are gonna get tricky. Yeah, they’re pulling the plug on it—can’t even download it anymore. This was mentioned earlier this week by the folks who put the game together. Hardware’s got its limits, I guess.
Why PS4? I mean, I’m kinda skeptical. They’re saying goodbye to Genshin Impact on PS4, all due to, what was it… hardware performance and app size issues? Sounds plausible, but eh… who really knows? But the PS5 is safe, apparently. Good news for some, I suppose.
Now, let’s hit the phases – they’re rolling this out in bits and pieces. First up, mark September 10 on your calendar, ’cause the game vanishes from PlayStation Store. But if you’ve got it, you could still snag it from your library. Small mercy, I guess.
Then, boom! February 25, 2026, rolls around, and say farewell to in-game purchases. Yep, no more throwing money at top-ups or whatever else you fancy buying. Though, until the grand finale on PS4, you’ll still get to grab the stuff you bought from the PS Store in-game. But post-August 4, 2026, that’s it. Game over for PS4. No more logging in, nada.
Anyway, jumping off the PS4 boat, things are shaking up on PC and mobile, too. The game’s cranking up its system requirements there as well. They’re not insane or anything, but if your device doesn’t cut it, expect a bumpy ride. Performance may dip – like trying to run through molasses or something.
Oh, and before I forget—the update version 5.8 just dropped last week. New events, characters, and all that jazz. Ineffa’s in the spotlight. So, if you’re still diving into the game, check out those team tips and gather up those codes. ‘Cause why not?
Okay, wrapping this up before I lose my own train of thought—keep an ear out and your systems prepped. Can’t say I saw this one coming, but hey, that’s gaming life.
