Nah, definitely "yeet off your PS4, we ain't woring with it anymore"
Luna_MariaHawke2026-01-12 10:12
I hope that I can get some internal space for my PS5 soon (for a resonable price of course), had delete some games today......
proxy19c2026-01-12 10:27
You might be able to get a Crucial SSD 2TB or 4TB for a good price, I recently bought a Crucial T500 4TB for about ~370$, which is definitely a good price ratio for this capacity. I've heard you can install NVMe M2 drives in PS5, but you probably have to make sure it would work properly.
Joe_from_ungvar2026-01-12 10:22
Id really hate that
if i actually had a ps4
Suitable_Ad_43712026-01-12 10:29
I have a ps4 and for me its a forced quit
Deox_002026-01-12 17:35
same, i completely gave up on logging in, why bother for a couple extra months if it's still gonna sting once they shut it down, and yeah mobile is a thing but it's too much of a hassle to get going (file size and performance wise)
Suitable_Ad_43712026-01-12 19:04
I'm Just pulling Columbina, if i win the 50-50 i'll play till the end of ps4 support
misterkalazar2026-01-13 09:40
Most mobiles will have better performance than PS4. In terms of FPS.
Clover-kun2026-01-12 18:17
Link your PSN account to your Hoyoverse account, this will let you play on different platforms in the future even if you don't get a PS5. Mobile, PC, Xbox, and even streaming are all alternatives and all support controllers
RamenPack12026-01-12 10:35
I installed it on my ps4, two days because they announced the end. Mobile for me…

I tried them before when baldurs gate 3 came out, it’s not too bad. I’m secretly hoping it gets ported to switch 2

i've been moved to mobile since 5.3 and while the graphics obv aren't crazy i've been having a halfway decent time
Stetscopes2026-01-12 10:44
Playing mainly on the ps4, had to get another phone for genshin. Was going to anyways, the 60-110+gb updates every patch was atrocious when other live service games only did 2-17+gb.
giggity20992026-01-12 11:30
I wonder what's stopping them from supporting PS4, when I can run genshin on an integrated graphics card on PC and on an entry level smartphone
Insidious_NX2026-01-12 11:37
How old is your PC? Rather the parts? PS4 is fairly old in the gaming space being nearly 13 years old. Genshin could only handle a solid 30 fps in most calm cases on the console and it doesn't support the recent UGC mode.
The technology in that console is likely late 2012/early 2013 at best so designing around probably became more of a hassle as time went on.
giggity20992026-01-12 11:42
8th generation intel cpu with 16 gigs of ram. Still very playable if you turn the settings down
Clover-kun2026-01-12 18:02
Yeah just slap a sub $50 GTX 1060 from eBay into that system and play Genshin at 1080p 60fps with max details all day long
Cyphiris2026-01-12 18:10
There were plenty of places where my 1060 couldn't handle 60 fps on max settings and dropped to 40. Mostly in Sumeru, especially in the city.
Clover-kun2026-01-12 18:15
Even my 7900 XTX drops frames in Sumeru, there's something buggy going on there.
The only solution was to unlock the framerate and let the game run at 165fps. The same FPS drops happen but 165fps dropping to 155fps is nothing compared to 60fps dropping to 50fps.
LiDragonLo2026-01-13 08:16
I've honestly never had any issues in sumeru ngl. If anything some microstutters in fontaine, and other than that nada. And i have a 6950xt card
piichan142026-01-12 11:45
Genshin was just ok on ps4 even on launch. Loading times were atrocious for base ps4, on the pro it was ok but it sounded like an airplane if you turned on hdr (tho it was gorgeous). As soon as they opened up cross play for those who started their accounts on psn, I never looked back.
That's why I never really kept hope for the Switch release. I bet it would've ran ass on there.
I guess the reason why it runs better on phones and pcs is because development is mostly focused on those 2. As for the ps, I guess it's normal for Sony to push devs to focus their time on the new console so people would be forced to upgrade at some point.
dadofwar932026-01-12 13:05
They CAN make it run but it's a hassle. If DE is able to run Warframe on PS4 and Switch then Genshin shouldn't be a problem. It's just that the effort is not worth the gain.
Insidious_NX2026-01-12 16:56
Shouldn't be a problem is very wrong here.
Sure, it's theoretically possible but not really feasible to keep supporting old architecture. It's the same reason why high end live service mobile games start to phase out old phones. They're no longer cost effective.
LiDragonLo2026-01-13 08:14
Eh its built in unity, which is by design multiplatform
Ill-Grapefruit-46812026-01-12 14:45
HDDs vs SSDs, even phones have faster storage, also PS4 has outdated CPU
Clover-kun2026-01-12 18:01
The PS4 is a 12 year old console, and was considered pretty weak when it first launched. They may have gotten more life out of it by using the mobile version of the game as a base instead of the PC version, but it's simply not worth it
throwway852352026-01-12 18:29
The CPU. The PS4 has a really slow CPU even for 2013, let alone 2020, let alone 2026. I would not hesitate to say entry level phones in 2020 had a faster CPU. The slow SATA2 5400RPM hard drive is probably a pain point as well.

Ke5_Jun2026-01-12 13:28
Well it’s sad but it was a matter of time. PS4 is 12 years old. If Genshin keeps increasing its load, eventually older systems won’t be able to handle it. Genshin also ended support for older phones recently too.
A modern phone probably beats out the PS4 specs by now (cooling issues aside).
spoookyboi_2026-01-12 13:44
I dont know how anyone can bear to play on PS4 after all this time. It was horrible like 3 years ago and I cant imagine it hasnt gotten worse since
Pop-girlies2026-01-12 23:29
I mean, if it's all you have then it's not that bad. You kinda just get used to the load times (that's like the only problem imo). For me, I just don't switch because of storage. My poor little laptop wouldn't be able to download genshin due to that I bet
Schen5s2026-01-13 01:30
I stopped playing on my PS4 and more on mobile for the loading reasons but surprisingly it wasn't as bad compared to before (I feel) and so I started again on my PS4 if my cell battery was low. Shame they decided to stop
service for it soon anyway
External_Internet_502026-01-12 13:48
The funny thing is, Jean is meta now. Why meta? Tell that to her glitch💀 Jokes aside, she's a great character and still works. A really useful character at the start of the game, even in the endgame!

The PS4 is heavily outdated to the point flagship phones (cooling issues aside) are much better.

LaplaceZ2026-01-12 14:41
Genshin finally hit Eso
Fast-Ad-24152026-01-12 15:20
that day cant come soon enough, maybe then will see finally the console version of the game some seriousy overdue quality of life improvements together with general improvements that are non console specific, which just required to get rid first of the bottlenecking lower performer, that was the PS4, which kept alot of things impossible to do technically, because of the PS4's HDD for example and the genral whole different infrastructure of the PS4 and worser performance.
You can just see how outdated Genshin looks in the base game regions compared to everything past 3.0, just because of needign to keep the game compatible for the PS4 performance.
Maybe after April (I seriously hope so), we will see finally improvements like:
* Becoming able to delete all Game Content we don't need anymore, or which was optional to begin with like Language Packs, to finalyl reduce the size of the game from whopping 150+ GB down to a more noral 100GB or so, this includes making MW completely optional content, if you want want it, you can completely delete it and return to the Game UI you had, before MW got added, unless MHY starts treating MW finally like content, that gets technicalyl merged and integrated into the real game completely to be actually useful content there too, like Hall Deco becoming automatically Teapot Deco too, letting the MC's work like the Mannequins, so that you can let them use all the Skins too with Mannequins just gettign the same Constellations as the MC.. effectively woudl would have NEVER needed the implementation of Mannequins, if MHY woudl have treated the MC's just as our universal Avatars , whose looks we can just finally change as we like.. just with the specific feature beign there, that if we return to our world, the "default skins" are there automatically active, unless you manually change them with your personal MW Setup, that is for the main Game limited to certain thimngs, like hairystle, face, skin color ect. can't be changed there
* Becomign able finally to use the integrated Controler Microphones for Voice Chat with the help of AI to use Voice2Text, so that console players don't have to manaually type finally anmore, which makes us super slow in communication ...
* Adding also finally into the chat Auto Translation with the help of AI systems is also long overdue.. players should just mark what somebody else has written (or got Auto-Written by Voice2Text-AI), and get a promp for Auto Translation... when stuff like chatGPT can tanslate massive ammounts of texts within seconds, then it should be also possible for MHY to add simething similar into the game...
* Make more usage of Haptic Feedback in Genshin at least in PS5, where its possible, for example when playing Bow Charges doing Charge Shots, so that doing a Charge Shot also feels like more of beign a Charge Shot that requires more strength to do.. can't be that the only haptic feedback for years in this game has been added to the neglected Fishing that receives onces in 3 blue moons some new color copied fishes, when a new area got added and never has seen past that any mechanical improvements, or general more fun content around fishing
* Give the game logically graphical overhauls, especially for the older regions.. it should become visible for the game for the better of it, that the PS4 version finally got axed, animations for skills, npcs ect. need overdue updates and for the sake of this game, get finally rid of the stupid NPC clones with all their same dumb ugly faces and hairstyles with just slightly different hair colors n clothes.. and replace them with actually unique looking NPCs.. you pump out now faster than ever every patch new skins for MW..alot of this stuff could be also used in order to add alot more nice looking NPC's into the game with all those new created clothes as another way of making actually MW more of an really integrated part of the game, that is more than just stupid unimportant side content to milk the playerbase with, which drains only alot of game ressources and patch space away from actually the real game, that could have been used instead to improve the real game. In order to make MW more acceptable, it needs alot more **integration** into the game.
* This includes naturally also making it possible for console players to partake in the most important aspect of MW, which is content creation... MW will stay nothing but a failed project, as long you can't make it possible to use all of its aspects for all plattforms.. and if you can't make this possible MHY, then you should have never added MW in the first place to begin with and should have made it a Standalone Game with no ties to Genshin at all.

as a ps4 player i'm sad but also understand why
i didn't really face many problems EXCEPT THE LOADING TIMES!! it would take me ages to load whenever i logged in, teleported, etc. back in the day when you had to run to the centre of the domain to start it i was regularly cockblocked from it because i loaded too late. funnily enough, my teammates sometimes brought the enemies to me so that i could fight it lol
the only problem is finding another device to play on. my phone has no storage, my ipad is bricked, and i could use my laptop as i've played genshin on it in the past but it can't handle some roblox games so idk about now. i'm looking to upgrade/buy a new gaming pc/laptop/phone, but money doesn't come very easily
