Okay, so here’s a strange turn of events with Genshin Impact. Starting next month, well, it’s gonna be a bit of a mess for folks on older gadgets. You remember the PlayStation 4, right? Yeah, that old friend won’t be vibing with Genshin soon. No downloads, nada. Talk about a breakup.
And hey, they just sprinkled this news out there this week. Upped system requirements too, across the board. Why they gotta be like that? Also, there’s this random cookie nonsense message. Seriously, no one cares.
So, PS4. MiHoYo says it’s the hardware’s fault — too slow, too small. But PS5 players? Y’all are safe. This shake-up is a biggie for the game, like, they’re doing it in stages. First off, come September 10, it’s adiós from the PlayStation Store. Though, if you snagged it before, good for you. It’ll still chill in your library forever, or until you forget about it.
Then, February 25, 2026, mark your calendars. No more spending on in-game stuff from the PlayStation Store. Kind of like getting cut off from your favorite café. But hey, if you bought it before, you can keep sipping till the end.
August 4, 2026, that’s when the curtains close officially on PS4. After that? No login, no updates, no nothin’.
Oh, and another curveball: PC and mobile specs are going up too. Taking the Song of the Welkin Moon update as the cue — version 6.0 for those keeping tabs. To be honest, if your device can’t hang, it’ll still kinda run the game, but it might feel like wading through molasses. Imagine trying to play right when you’re about to drift into a nap.
Check the specs on the official site. They’re not impossible, but definitely something to keep in mind. Oh, and about last week — update 5.8 landed. New characters and returning faves like Citlali and Mualani. If you’re jumping back in, maybe peek at our latest team advice. Codes page got a facelift too.
Honestly, it all feels a bit like trying to make a complicated latte while chatting at the same time. A lot going on, with a lot that can go sideways. A little bit chaotic, but, you know… that’s life.
