Now Playing: Genshin Impact Video Review
A recent update had added bunny costumes to the game, but these cosmetic items weren’t available in China. Fan backlash that complained of the content being disrespectful to China and the character that the costume was meant for resulted in it being removed.

In less troubling news, Genshin Impact’s PS5 version is due for release on April 28. The game will feature 4K visuals and enhanced textures, faster load times, higher image quality, and better performance overall.
In a new post, MiHoYo revealed that it had built certain systems for this PS5 version from the ground up in an effort to future-proof it for updates. Alongside a new graphics library for enhanced visuals, players can also look forward to a customized file-loading system that will take advantage of the PS5’s SSD technology for loading times that have now been reduced to mere seconds.
