Genshin Impact system requirements revealed for version 5.0 Natlan update

Genshin Impact system requirements will change once version 5.0 hits the live servers. This will likely coincide with the introduction of Natlan as the brand-new region in the game. The changes to the system requirements come due to the shift in visual clarity and overall graphics quality with Genshin Impact v5.0. This will lead to more aesthetically pleasing gameplay but at the cost of higher specs that need to be matched.

Certain devices that don't meet the new Genshin Impact system requirements will have their graphics quality reduced, but they will be compensated with a higher performance rate to ensure smooth gameplay.

List of devices that meet the Genshin Impact system requirements for version 5.0 Natlan update

The Genshin Impact system requirements for the version 5.0 update will mean that some devices will no longer have the same level of graphics compared to others. This is because the new changes require an overall increase in specs and performance rate, which certain devices cannot match. Listed below are all the recommended devices ahead of the 5.0 update:

iOS:

• iPhone 11 series
• iPhone SE (2nd gen)
• iPad (9th gen)
• iPad Air (4th gen)
• iPhone 12 series
• iPad (10th gen)
• iPhone 13 series
• iPad mini (6th gen)
• iPhone SE (3rd gen)
• iPhone 14 series
• iPhone 15 series

Android:

• OnePlus 9R
• Xiaomi12X
• Vivo X100 series
• Oppo Find X7 series
• Huawei Pura 70 series
• Samsung Galaxy S21 series
• Samsung Galaxy A25 5G
• POCO F3
• Vivo S16
• Oppo Reno 6 Pro, and others

PlayStation:

• PlayStation 5 Series

Players who do not have these device specifications will not be able to experience the game's improved graphics. This will be a bit of a roadblock for exploration enthusiasts in particular. It is recommended that they upgrade devices before the 5.0 update if they wish to focus on having the best graphics settings.

Players who already have the recommended Genshin Impact system requirements for the 5.0 update will be able to enjoy the new benefits upon version release. This change will be a welcome addition, especially during the release of Natlan, Genshin Impact's upcoming region, in Teyvat.

If we are to go by HoYoverse's 42-day patch schedule, version 5.0 and Natlan have an expected release date of August 28, 2024. This should provide ample time for players looking to upgrade their devices and have the best gaming experience in Genshin Impact.
