Genshin Impact Discontinues PS4 Support and Increases PC and Mobile Requirements

Alright, so here’s the thing. Genshin Impact’s about to get a whole lot different—like, maybe too much for some folks. If you’re hanging onto that trusty old PS4, well, not for long with this game, anyway.

I heard the news, like, what, Tuesday? The developers basically dropped this bomb, raising the game’s requirements all over. Not just a little bit, but enough to make you rethink your setup. The PS4, sadly, got the chop. It’s like, “Hey, we love the PS5 now, sorry not sorry.”

Anyway — okay, so starting September 10, the game’s vanishing from the PlayStation Store. Poof. Gone. But if it’s already lounging in your library, you can still grab it later. Not sure why I noticed this, but yeah, it hit me.

Then comes February 25, 2026. That’s when your wallet can take a breather ’cause the game’s shutting down any new purchases on PS4. Seriously, even top-ups and other stuff. Until then, you can still claim what you bought. Seems fair, maybe?

The closure’s like a three-act play. The curtain finally falls on August 4, 2026. No more logging in on PS4; it’s like waving goodbye to an old friend—no patches, no support. Just… finito.

Oh, and on a completely different note, the game’s also getting pickier with what PC and mobile devices it’ll cozy up to. New specs are on the horizon. Gonna need to check what they’re asking for, though. Not impossible, but certainly more than before.

By the way, in the least related but somehow relevant news, update 5.8 showed up. Met Ineffa? Pretty cool, if you’re into that sort of thing. I got sidetracked, browsing team builds and codes—it’s one of those wormholes.

Alright, that’s where my head’s at with all of this. It’s a mixed bag, really. Change is constant, I guess?
