Developer miHoYo has announced that cross-save function across PlayStation platforms. The cross-save feature in Genshin Impact allows players to link their s across two separate platforms through a miHoYo . Thus, players on PC, Android, and iOS devices have been able to transfer save data and game progression between multiple platforms.
Cross-saves remain an interesting beast on Xbox Series X|S but not PS4 and PS5. Sony explained in a PlayStation Blog post that adding cross-gen saves was entirely up to the developer.
According to a post from Genshin Impact Version 2.0. It is worth noting, however, that a PSN already associated with Genshin Impact cannot be linked to an email address previously tied to miHoYo . Thus, "if you want to link an for PSN that has logged in to Genshin Impact to your email address, you must ensure that your email address is not associated with a miHoYo yet." The completed process will allow Android, iOS, and PC s to transfer progress to their PlayStation hardware and vice versa. After linking PSN and miHoYo s, PC and mobile players can open Genshin Impact for the first time on PS4/PS5 and follow the on-screen instructions. To transfer PlayStation progress, though:
" to Genshin Impact on your PlayStation, then go to Settings > > Center > Link and link your for PSN that is logged in to Genshin Impact to an email address that is not associated with a miHoYo . After linking, your game progress will be shared when you to your to play on the same server on iOS/Android/PC/PlayStation."
While the long-awaited function is indeed on its way, the instructions denote a complex process. It bears a fair few limitations, too, which may keep some fans from fully diving in. Hopefully, PlayStation will have access to simpler cross-save solutions as this console generation carries on.
Developer miHoYo recently hosted a Twitch stream dedicated to everything that will come with Genshin Impact Version 2.0 and its all-new Inazuma region. Notably, the team confirmed a release details for the update, which is slated to go live on July 21.
Genshin Impact is out now on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PS4, PS5, Android, and iOS devices.
