Okay, so, here’s the thing I stumbled upon while sipping my morning coffee: Genshin Impact’s about to get a tad chaotic, at least if you’re still clinging to your good ol’ PlayStation 4. I mean, who saw this coming? They’re basically saying, “Hey PS4 users, time to move on!” It’s like being told your favorite café won’t serve your go-to coffee anymore. Heartbreaking, right?
So, apparently, MiHoYo made it official earlier this week. They’re cutting the cord on PS4 because, well, the hardware can’t keep up, and the game’s just too big. Honestly, I don’t fully get why they’re doing it in phases, but maybe it’s like slowly tearing off a band-aid. First phase: September 10 rolls around, and bam! The game disappears from the PlayStation Store. But – and here’s a plot twist – if you’ve already got it, you can keep downloading it from your own library. Handy, sort of.
Now, jumping to February 25, 2026! Mark your calendars, folks, because in-game purchases are hitting a wall. No more buying shiny things from the shop. You can still claim stuff you already bought, at least until the game finally packs its bags and leaves.
And then, August 4, 2026, the curtain falls. Genshin Impact on PS4 just goes poof. No logging in, no patches, zip. It’s like saying goodbye to an old friend, but in a virtual kind of way.
Meanwhile, in another corner of the gaming universe, Genshin is getting pickier about your tech. PC and mobile specs are being dialed up. No biggie, they say, unless you’re stuck with a potato of a device. Imagine trying to run it, and your phone gets as hot as fresh bread from the oven. Not fun!
Oh, and before I forget, last week there was an update (5.8, if numbers are your thing). It brought back some fav characters like Ineffa, Citlali, and Mualani. Dive back in if you’re curious, and don’t forget those precious codes—they’re a lifesaver.
Anyway – oops, yeah, I lost my train of thought there – it’s a bit of a rollercoaster, really. Genshin Impact is shaking things up, and who knows where it’ll go next?
