Dear Travelers of Genshin Impact, as we gear up for the exciting new adventures in September, are you ready for the upcoming Version 6.0, "Song of the Welkin Moon"? This version promises to introduce the vast and mysterious Nod-Krai region along with a wealth of treasures and events. However, crucial updates mean you may need to upgrade your device to fully enjoy the experience! Let’s dive deeper into what to expect below.
When is Genshin Impact Version 6.0 Releasing?
The anticipated release for Genshin Impact Version 6.0 is set for early September. Scheduled maintenance will commence on Tuesday, September 9th at 06:00 (UTC+8). Keep an eye out, as the precise date may vary, so stay updated!
What Platforms Can Still Play Genshin in 6.0?
Good news for Travelers! You will still be able to explore Teyvat on Android, iOS, PC, PlayStation, and Xbox devices. However, it's important to note that as we transition to Version 6.0, both the minimum and recommended system specifications will increase. This means that while most devices can still launch the game, you could encounter significant performance issues if your device is below the new requirements. Be sure to check your devices to ensure you can continue your adventure!

For Console Users
If you currently enjoy playing on PlayStation, now is the time to upgrade to a PlayStation®5 (PS5)! Version 6.0 will gradually phase out support for PS4. This transition begins with the game’s removal from the store this September, with final changes completed by April 8th, 2026. For more details on PS4 support ending, please check our embedded link on Icy Veins!
If you’re already on a PS5, you can continue your journey without interruption. But if upgrading to a PS5 isn’t feasible right away, consider playing on another platform! Fortunately, PS4 offers cross-save capabilities, allowing you to use the same miHoYo account on mobile or PC. Plus, with the Genshin Cloud, managing storage on your device is no longer a concern!
If you’re an Xbox user, you’ll need an Xbox Series X|S to continue your adventures in Version 6.0.
That’s a wrap on the planned device upgrades, Travelers! As we eagerly await details on storage requirements, if you find it challenging to free up space, don’t forget that you can play through Genshin Cloud for free on mobile and PC with your existing game progression. Dive in and enjoy your gaming without limitations!
