HoYoverse announced that Genshin Impact will terminate PlayStation 4 compatibility due to technical constraints and application size limitations. The developer confirmed this decision affects the popular action role-playing game's future availability on Sony's previous-generation console. PlayStation Store removal begins September 10 for new downloads. Existing players retain access through April 8, 2026, when complete service discontinuation occurs. February 25 marks the final date for all monetary transactions within the game.
System specifications have risen for personal computer and mobile device versions following this platform elimination. Players using hardware below the minimum standards may encounter performance difficulties and stability problems after the Song of the Welkin Moon update launches. The revised requirements remain moderate, particularly for desktop systems, ensuring most users can continue gameplay without major upgrades. Current platform availability spans personal computers, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S consoles.
