"HoYoverse announced last year that they intended to wind down support for Genshin Impact on PS4, which - alongside PC, Android, and iOS - was one of the launch platforms for the game back in 2020. And with Version Luna 5, those end days are upon us."
"The game has already been delisted on the platform since last September, meaning it was no longer available for download and could only be updated by players who already had it installed. But as of today, paid purchases from the in-game store have been disabled on PS4; and in six weeks' time, on approximately April 8, Version Luna 6 will discontinue access to the PS4 version altogether."
"In many ways this is unsurprising - Genshin is already available on both PS5 and Xbox Series to sate fans eager to play on console, and the PS4's hardware is increasingly struggling to keep up with this massive open-world game after more than five years of regular updates have ballooned both its file size and technical requirements."
Genshin Impact Version Luna 5 marks the beginning of the end for PlayStation 4 support. HoYoverse announced plans to wind down PS4 support last year, and this version represents the final chapter. The game was delisted from the PS4 store in September, preventing new downloads. As of Version Luna 5, in-game purchases are disabled on PS4, with complete access discontinuation scheduled for approximately April 8 with Version Luna 6. PS5 and Xbox Series versions remain available. The PS4's aging hardware struggles with the game's expanded file size and technical demands after five years of updates. Version Luna 5 returns to Mondstadt, the original starting location, featuring iconic 5-Star characters and the introduction of Varka.
