Okay, so here’s the deal with HoYoverse and Genshin Impact on PS4: Basically, they’re pulling the plug on this whole thing. Like, no more updates. Sad, right? For some weird reason, they’re saying this PS4 thing is due to “hardware performance” issues. I don’t know, maybe they’re onto something—or maybe it’s just an excuse. Whatever. Anyway, they’re yanking it out of the PlayStation store next month. Poof, gone like my last paycheck.
Oh, wait—here’s the kicker. By February 2026, all those shiny in-game purchases? You know, the ones you may have splurged on during a late-night gaming session? They’re toast unless you claim them. After that, nada, zip, zilch. And come April 8, 2026, it’s game over for PS4 users. Poetic, isn’t it? Not really. Well, unless you wanna switch to Xbox, PS5, PC, or mobile. Choices galore, but still feels kinda rough.
Here’s what’s sticking in my head: They’re saying the PS4 can’t handle updates anymore. PS4’s from 2013—yeah, that’s like ancient history in tech years. Still, it’s funny they’re cutting the cord here while my phone somehow keeps chugging along with Genshin. Maybe the game’s requirements are climbing faster than my caffeine levels during finals week. Who knew?
Anyway—where was I? Oh, right. I wonder why old Android phones might gasp for breath with this switch. Yet, PS4 is giving out like a rusty lawnmower refusing to start—unless you oil it up with some fancy hardware sauce. Makes you think about how fleeting this digital stuff is, right? One day you’re leveling up, next day your console’s a glorified paperweight.
Oh, in case you’re wondering—HoYoverse threw some jargon our way about optimizing performance for future updates. Cool story, I guess. Though, for PS4 folks, it’s a bit of a head-scratcher. Well, here’s hoping it all works out—or at least provides a thrill for someone on mobile.
Time to mourn the loss or move on. Your call.
