Surprise MMO hit Genshin Impact will be coming to PlayStation 5 via a native version on 28th April 2021, as confirmed on the PlayStation Blog. The upgraded port will feature a 4K resolution, enhanced textures, and faster load times. That is just about all this latest update on the PS5 version has to share besides more content for those already playing the game. Version 1.5 adds new events to participate in and more enemies to slaughter as well as the continuation of Noelle's hangout story. The update then introduces two new characters named Eula and Mondstadt.
Furthermore, the patch and PS5 version both bring with them a few tweaks under the hood. "The first three times you claim rewards in a week from Trounce Domains, it will only cost you 30 Original Resin. Also, you will now gain double the amount of Companionship EXP for gameplay completed in co-op mode." These changes are coupled with new seasonal challenges and bountiful rewards sourced from specific events.
The PlayStation Blog post doesn't seem to mention it, but Genshin Impact on PS5 will also include support for the DualSense controller's unique capabilities. Are you looking forward to trying the free-to-play MMO on Sony's latest system? Let us know in the comments below.

If it wasn't for FFXIV I would probably play this more. I will check this enhanced version out
I really enjoyed playing this up until around adventure rank 20.
After that, it turns into an abusive relationship with the game as you can end up having to grind for an entire week just to unlock another hour or so of the story (and that's as someone with a lot of time for gaming, I can't imagine how long it would take someone with less time available).
I wanted to play this more but I have bad allergies towards 250hr long trophy lists with no Platinum. Its a serious problem 😅. Maybe the PS5 version can cure this.
The game already looked beautiful, I guess we’re in for a treat
Yes! Can't wait for this version, 60 fps is already great but I can't say no to 4K & Dualsense support
Edit: Also there's enchanced texture and faster loading time, nice.
Genshin Impact is many things but it definitely isn't a MMO.
Play it at 4K on PC. Upgrade, it makes a beautiful game even more stunning.
I give them $4 every other month because I feel bad playing it 100% for free. Tons of work went into this game (I rarely play F2P games)
Sounds great. 1.5 is looking really good. I cant wait to roll for Yanfei.
"free to play MMO" ????? Ummmmm.... No... It's not an MMO. It's a free to play single player game with some cool elements. It's not an MMO.
@Shigurui I sometimes wonder if people even research before typing an article
@Jbuggydroid - In this case I'd say the safe bet would be no.
FINALLY a release date! I look forward to wasting hundreds of hours playing this.
@LiamCroft As others have said here Genshin Impact is definitely not an MMO. It's a single player game with an option to play with co-operatively with one friend.
Back on the post - The step up playing the PS4 version on PS5 is already HUGE to frame rate, load times and general feel. Can't wait to see what this game looks like in the native version. Not long to wait now... If only Inazuma or The Chasm would come so quickly...
