In a [URL='https://www.hoyolab.com/article/40408849'][U]statement[/U][/URL], the publisher thanked PS4 players for their "continued support and love," but claimed that, "due to limitations related to hardware performance and platform application size," it would be discontinuing support and updates for the RPG on Sony's last-gen system. The "removal and discontinuation plan" for Genshin Impact will unfold in three phases: firstly, the PS4 version of the game will be removed from the PlayStation store on September 10 (although you'll still be able to re-download it if it's already in your library). Secondly, in-game purchases will be delisted on February 25, 2026, and finally, support will end completely in August 2026. Thankfully, HoYo has given a decent notice period, so you'll still be able to play Genshin Impact on PS4 right up until August 4, 2026. PS5 players are not to worry — the change shouldn't affect you at all, and Travelers will still be able to "enjoy the latest content updates." "These adjustments apply only to Genshin Impact on PS4," the publisher reiterated.
