The update to version 5.0 of Genshin Impact is getting closer and closer and, while waiting for Hoyoverse to reveal more details on the update, an important press release has arrived regarding the news that will involve the free to play graphics.
Although the development team did not want to specify what the new features of update 5.0 will be, a press release has appeared on the official website which aims to inform enthusiasts about the important changes that are about to affect the free open world.
In a very general way, it is reported on the portal that ‘the developers will update the visual effects and general functions of the game’ . As a consequence, Genshin Impact’s minimum requirements will undergo some upward changes and some versions may receive a graphics downgrade to accommodate technical innovations.
Below are all the devices that will be affected by the upcoming changes:
- Apple devices (iOS) with an A12 or lower processor
- Android smartphone/tablet with Snapdragon 865, Dimensity 1200 (8050), Kirin 9000SL, Samsung Exynos 1080 or lower processors
- PlayStation 4, PlayStation 4 Slim and PlayStation 4 Pro
We remind you that, according to rumors, version 5.0 should introduce the Tevyat region which takes the name of Natlan . For those who don’t know, according to lore it is a portion of the map where the main element is fire and Archon himself belongs to the Pyro element . It is probably precisely because of the effects linked to this element that the game will become more demanding on the technical front.
As regards the release period, we can hypothesize that version 4.7 will be the last one linked to Fontaine: if this were the case, it is likely that the Natlan update will arrive at the end of July 2024 .
