It also adds new bosses including the Pyro Hypostasis and the Perpetual Mechanical Array, as well as new cross-save functionality, haptic feedback support on PlayStation 5, and more.

Genshin Impact is a free-to-play action RPG set in the world of Teyvat and originally released in September 2020. Players control a character known as “the Traveler” and must embark on a journey to find their missing sibling. They are joined by NPC companion Paimon, travelling in a party of up to four active members.
