With the upcoming Genshin Impact 5.0 Natlan update, HoYoverse is enhancing the game’s visual experience by implementing higher graphical standards.
This means that if you’re a Genshin Impact player and you’re using a low-end device, you may encounter difficulties accessing the game once the 5.0 update goes live. However, the implementation of more rigorous optimization strategies could result in a trade-off, potentially lowering the resolution and visual fidelity of certain in-game elements for users on these devices.
But what exactly is changing with the next Genshin Impact update? And would your device be able to handle the new visuals of the game? Let’s find out.
Genshin Impact 5.0 Update Raises Device Requirements for Upgraded Visuals
As recently confirmed by the developers, the upcoming update will enhance the overall visuals and functions of the game, which also means that the device requirements for Genshin Impact will also be affected.
HoYoverse said in a statement, “While striving to keep the minimum device requirements for Version 5.0 the same, we will use stricter performance optimization strategies to ensure stable functioning of the game after the version update.”
Now without further ado, let’s check out the devices that will be impacted by the performance changes in Genshin Impact once the 5.0 update is launched.
Genshin Impact Device Performance Adjustments After Version 5.0 Natlan Update
According to HoYoverse, the devices slated for adjustments include:
iOS
- Models with an A12 processor (or lower)
Android
- Models with a Snapdragon 865, Dimensity 1200 (8050), Kirin 9000SL, or Samsung Exynos 1080 processor (or lower)
PlayStation
- PlayStation 4 Series (all)
Players using these devices to play Genshin Impact are likely to observe a decline in the visual quality of specific in-game objects and effects.
