đŸ“ē Genshin Impact Ending Support on PlayStation 4

Genshin Impact players on PlayStation 4 should prepare for significant changes as support for the game on this platform winds down. The title will be removed from the PS4 store on September 10, 2025, meaning new players won't be able to purchase it from that date onward. However, existing players can continue making in-game purchases until February 2026, after which all official support will end completely on April 8, 2026. The decision to end PS4 support is due to hardware limitations and the growing size of the application, which restricts the game's ability to run optimally on the aging console.


Players are encouraged to transition to PlayStation 5, where they can carry over their accounts seamlessly and continue enjoying Genshin Impact's ever-expanding world without interruption. The move reflects the game's evolving technical demands and the need to maintain the high standards set by its developers. For those interested, the official launch trailer and details on this transition provide valuable insight into how the game will continue thriving on newer hardware.
