Alright, so Genshin Impact is getting a makeover, but not the type you’d want if you’re still clinging onto that old PS4. Yep, they’re pulling the plug. It’s like, “Hey, you had your time, PS4, now step aside.” No more updates, no more downloads, nada. MiHoYo’s got other plans, apparently.
Why? Well, they’re saying, “hardware issues”—fancy talk for “your PS4’s too old for our cool new stuff.” So, the game’s getting the axe in a three-step kaboom. First off, wave goodbye to it in the PlayStation Store on September 10. But if you’ve got it in your library already? You’re good for now. Sneaky, right?
Fast forward to February 2026, and they’re shutting down all the in-game shopping sprees. No more top-ups, no more shiny stuff, zippo. But you can still nab your already-bought trinkets until the game goes full ghost mode in August 2026.
Oh, and did I mention the PS5 folks are all fine and dandy? Yeah, this is strictly a PS4 breakup. Is it unfair? Maybe. But that’s life… or gaming life, at least.
Now, onto other things. Genshin’s cranking up its system demands on PC and mobile too. So, it’s like your phone or computer might just start wheezing if they can’t keep up. Can it still run? Sure, but the experience might be as smooth as a gravel road. As for the new specs, they’re telling us to check out their site—like a treasure map, but less fun.
Let’s not forget the fresh update, version 5.8, brought some cool faces back. Like, Ineffa and our old pals Citlali and Mualani make a comeback. If you’re jumping back in, look up the latest builds and codes. Or don’t. No pressure, right?
Anyway—oh wait, did I mention the song version thing? Maybe I did. Who knows. Happy gaming, or whatever.
