An alright update. One thing is good that the summer event can be permanant, but the limited time rewards are stupidly limited as it used to be a full patch for the event to get the rewards, but less time now for the limited, I mean really? Hopefully those rewards won't take the full map/activities to do and they stop like perhaps 3/4 of the way at worst, so the rest can be completed whenever you want to warrant it being permanent.

I'm behind on the Archon Quest as I haven't done the main 5.7 one yet, but I did like the somewhat tranquil teaser at the end.

Genshin Impact | Removal and Discontinuation of Updates on PS4
Starting next month, HoYoVerse will begin a three-phase plan for the removal and discontinuation of Genshin Impact on PS4:

Phase 1 - Game Removal | September 10, 2025
Genshin Impact will be removed from the PlayStation Store, and anyone who has never downloaded the game on PS4 will be unable to do so after this date. PSN accounts that have downloaded the game at any point on PS4 will still be able to re-download the game if it has been deleted from the device.

Phase 2 - In-Game Purchases Delisting | February 25, 2026
All in-game purchases for Genshin Impact on PS4 will be removed from both the PlayStation Store and the in-game shop. Before Genshin Impact's update discontinuation on PS4, any items purchased from the PlayStation Store but not yet claimed in-game can still be obtained by logging into Genshin Impact on PS4.

Phase 3 - End of Update Support | April 8, 2026
All updates for the PS4 version of Genshin Impact will cease, and players will no longer be able to log in and/or play the game on this platform. Any items purchased from the PlayStation Store but not yet claimed in-game can only be claimed by logging into Genshin Impact on PS5 after this date.

Not too surprising really, PS4 was slower and I've got no clue how it's been performing since I stopped playing Genshin on my PS4, last time was three years ago. I know my not so great laptop I first started playing my second playthrough on has been performing gradually worse almost every time I've updated it on there, I've pretty much put it down to the lowest settings now, just FPS I didn't put down to 30. Yes I still update the game there as I keep a log on a site which records wishes, and do so on my gaming laptop too so I have a spare record in case one screws up somehow. The PS4 I'd imagine would be better than my Acer laptop, it was only marginally better back when I was using both PS4 and the Acer, PS5, phone and gaming laptop are far superior. I can at least uninstall Genshin from my PS4 now when I ever turn my PS4 back on for whatever reason.

Hopefully most players have already switched over or are going to if they're still playing, and have until April to do so.

Nod-Krai looks great, somewhat dark and the first of a big face-off against the Fatui which may end up taking the majority of this version until whatever comes next. I'm very interested in getting Flins for one of my accounts, likely my EU PC as it's the weakest of my three, and probably will be in contention with both him and Ineffa there, as I have potential with at least one more team that could be considered on par, though I need at least 3 to carry me through Stygian Onslaught. My other two accounts have definite 2 teams I can use, my main (PS5) does have more but those haven't been able to help clear Stygian.

However the big elephant in the room is that quite awful stipulation in order to level up to 100, after having the max be 90 for so long. Really now, C6, only for big spenders who try for most if not all character 5-Star constellations.

Me? The account I have since near the beginning of Genshin's life on my PS5 has only one standard character C6, one C5 and another C4. I'm unlikely to get Keqing again as she's up against 7 other characters, a bunch of weapons or a limited character that's not on a guarantee, unless I choose her from the selector and only then I get 1 character to Level 95, and need 2 more for 100. I have at least 20 5-stars I use often there so I'd need 60 of the darn things for level 100.
My other two on PC, no standards are C6. I do have one C6 on my NA but I won't pull for her again as it's literally a waste of the pulls that could go towards a character I'd want, instead of fishing for 3 more copies without guarantee, screw that.

Hope they don't end up making content that's for Level 100 characters, but I suppose like Stygian Onslaught mode already has two difficulty levels beyond what I'm capable of (I almost cleared one of them the first time), the rewards like them won't matter as much.

Also about the new out of the blue user-generated game mode, I'm not excited for it really. There was a taste of it in one event a long while ago having you set up a challenge for other players to complete, I didn't get into that.
