Genshin Impact to End PS4 Support in 2026 Here’s What You Need to Know

Goodbye Last Gen

If you’re still exploring the vast world of Teyvat on your PlayStation 4, there’s some important news ahead. The makers of Genshin Impact recently announced they will be ending support for the PS4 version of the game. This change is coming due to the technical limits of the older console and the size constraints for apps on the platform.

Here’s the timeline you should keep in mind:

  • The PS4 version will be taken down from the PlayStation Store on September 10, 2025. That means you won’t be able to download or buy it after that date.
  • From February 25, 2026, in-game purchases on PS4 will be removed, so you won’t be able to buy any more items through that platform.
  • Finally, on April 8, 2026, updates and support for the PS4 version will end completely.

It’s worth noting that this change does not affect PS5 players. If you’re on a PS5, your game will continue to receive updates and support as usual, with no interruptions.

This isn’t too surprising, given how games nowadays are pushing the limits of hardware. Genshin Impact is a beautiful and complex game, and it demands quite a bit of power to run smoothly. The PS4, being a generation old, simply can’t keep up with the requirements anymore.

If you’re still playing on PS4, now might be a good time to start thinking about moving over to a PS5 or another platform like PC or mobile, where the game is still fully supported and regularly updated. This way, you won’t miss out on the new content, events, and features that keep the Genshin Impact experience fresh and exciting.

It’s always a bit sad to see support for older consoles come to an end, especially for games that have become part of so many players’ daily routines. But with this change, the developers are ensuring that the game can keep evolving and running well on modern hardware.

So, mark your calendars and plan ahead if you want to keep exploring Teyvat without any interruptions. The adventure isn’t over yet it’s just moving on to bigger and better things.
