Genshin Impact Ends PS4 Support and Increases PC and Mobile Requirements

Sure, let’s dive into this jumble of thoughts. Alright, here we go:

So, Genshin Impact. You know it, right? That game that’s been all over the place, suddenly it’s hitting a bit of a weird bump. Starting next month, it’s gonna be, well, kinda inaccessible on some older gadgets. And yeah, if you’re still rocking a PlayStation 4 (like, who isn’t?), it’s basically saying goodbye to that.

But wait—no conspiracy theories here—MiHoYo, the masterminds behind the game, spilled the beans earlier. Guess they’ve gotta keep everything shiny and new, so they’re bumping up what’s needed to play it. I mean, makes sense? But PS4 is getting the boot, which feels like a bummer. PS5, though? All clear skies. (For now, at least).

Anyway—what was I saying? Right, phases. More complex than my morning routine. First up, come September 10, it’s vanishing from the PlayStation Store. Kinda like a magician’s trick, but less fun. But hey, if you downloaded it before, you’re golden. Sort of. It’s chilling in your library, maybe like an old mix tape you forgot about.

Next bit—mark your calendar or your hand or whatever—February 25, 2026, is when your wallet can take a rest. No more dropping money on shiny new things. Doesn’t stop you from using your credits if you’ve already got ‘em, though.

Final curtain call happens on August 4, 2026. After that, PS4 might as well be a fancy paperweight for Genshin. No logging in, no patches, just a ghost town. Insert spooky noises here.

Oh, and did I mention they’re also raising the bar for PCs and mobiles? So, if that’s your jam, you’d better double-check your gear. They listed some specs, not gonna lie, a bit jargon-heavy—but apparently, playing on lower specs might feel like trying to sprint in a dream. Strange, huh?

Speaking of dreams, just last week, update 5.8 dropped. You got Ineffa making her grand entrance, with old pals Citlali and Mualani popping back in, too. If you’re on the hunt for tips—like, how to make Ineffa rock your squad—there’s a guide floating around. And codes? You bet they’ve been refreshed. Freebies! Yay.

Anyway, can’t remember what else I was gonna say. Got completely sidetracked by the whole PS4 thing. Who knew a gaming update would feel like an epic saga, right?

Catch you later, and stay tuned for more chaos.
