Sure, here we go:

So, here’s the scoop on Genshin Impact. Big changes are coming, and honestly, some folks might not be thrilled. Starting next month, if you’re rocking an older device, you might be out of luck. Yeah, even the trusty PlayStation 4 is getting the boot. Can you believe it? It’s like saying goodbye to a favorite pair of sneakers because they’ve got too many holes.
The folks at MiHoYo broke the news last week. I mean, hardware limitations and all that—guess you can’t fight progress, right? The PS5’s safe, though. So, if you’ve upgraded, you’re good to go. But, I can’t help but feel a little nostalgic for the good old PS4 days. Anyway, here’s the lowdown on how this is going to roll out.
First, they’re taking the game off the PlayStation Store on September 10. But wait—if you’ve already downloaded it before, you can download it again later. Phew, right? Still, come February 25, 2026, you might want to tighten those purse strings. In-game purchases? Yeah, they’re going bye-bye, whether it’s top-ups or whatever else. Yet, you can still nab anything you’ve previously bought from the PlayStation Store. Silver lining, I guess?
Now, the last hurrah. By August 4, 2026, Official Support Day is done and dusted. No more logging in on PS4. It’s brutal, but I’m guessing that’s how the cookie crumbles.
Oh, fun fact—not really related, but I noticed the tires on my bike make this weird wet cardboard noise on icy roads, you know? Anyway—where was I? Right, Genshin. So, PC and mobile folks, your specs are getting a lift too. Both minimum and recommended are going up with the next update—something about the Song of the Welkin Moon. Romantic name, huh? But don’t worry if your device is hanging by a thread. You can still run the game, though who knows what weird glitches you might face.
And speaking of updates, last week they dropped version 5.8. New events with a character named Ineffa—it’s a whole thing. And if you’re still kicking around in the game, check out those new build guides or maybe some new codes. Handy stuff, when you remember to use it. Life’s funny that way, sometimes you just get distracted.
