Genshin Impact will end support for PlayStation 4 in April 2026, HoYoverse confirms
HoYoverse has confirmed that support for Genshin Impact on PlayStation 4 will end on April 8 2026. The closure is due to growing hardware constraints and increasing application size on the ageing platform. The process will unfold in three stages. Firstly, the game will be removed from the PlayStation Store on September 10 2025. Next, in-game purchases on PS4 will be disabled from February 25 2026. Finally, login access will be permanently disabled on April 8 2026, marking the end of the PS4 version. In a statement, HoYoverse made it clear that the decision is not tied to any specific game content or software update but is based purely on 'hardware performance and platform application size.' The most recent content update, Version 5.8, launched on July 30 2025 and introduced the Sunspray Summer Resort expansion, along with new characters and seasonal features. To ensure PS4 users retain access to their game data, starting December 17 2025, players will receive prompts in-game to bind their account via email, QR code, or alternative methods using the User Centre. This allows them to continue playing on platforms such as PlayStation 5, PC, iOS, Android, or Xbox Series X|S. Genshin Impact first launched on PS4 in September 2020 and has received full support through major updates. However, with the game's file size and technical requirements increasing each year, continuing support has become unsustainable. PS4 users are encouraged to follow prompts and complete account binding before the sunset timeline begins to safeguard continued access to their save data and in-game progress. Completion of this transition is essential in order to preserve access beyond April 2026.
