The open-world Gachi game will be going next-gen on Sony’s PlayStation 5 next week along with several graphics enhancements and a completely redesigned Qingyun Peak exclusively for PS5 players.

With Genshin Impact, we want to transport you into a visually stunning and culturally diverse world. The all-new graphics library allows us to pack even more details into the game world. Look closely at your surroundings, and the high-res texture will tell you a unique story in every tiny detail; raise your eyes to the horizon, and the enhanced Level of Detail distance will bring you an impressive view of landmarks near and far. Even better, the PlayStation 5 allows you to run all these details in native 4K resolution. If you have an HDR display, with our HDR support, you can enjoy an even more vibrant look at the world

Genshin’s developer miHoYo has also developed a customized file loading system to take advantage of the PS5’s SSD as well as a completely new graphics library for much better visuals. Genshin’s next-gen version will also take full advantage of the dual sense controller as the control scheme has been redesigned for immersive haptic feedback, something that was lacking from the backward compatible PS4 version. 

You can read Sony’s PlayStation blog here and check out 8 minutes of 4K gameplay on the PS5.

Genshin Impact will launch on April 28 along with update 1.5 which will introduce a player housing system as well as several new features, events, and bug fixes.
