Possible issues with Genshin Impact on console:

Players will definitely appreciate this update, especially with the downsides that come with playing on console. Due to a lack of cross-save compatibility with either mobile or PC, players who choose to play Genshin Impact on their console are restricted to their Playstation account.

This becomes difficult when players wish to access their game on the go, but players who choose this route do receive special cosmetic bonuses. Players who choose consoles may also miss out on some events, as the lack of cross-play results in those events being excluded from the game, making the console a somewhat worse way to play the game. However, for those who have a large community of console players, the PS5 update might be a great boost to their performance and enjoyment of Genshin Impact 1.5.
