With the release of Genshin Impact version 2.0, cross-save is coming to the PS5 and PS4. And that means you can finally play the game across every platform that it’s on and carry your progress with you on all of them. While Android, iOS, and PC players have been enjoying this capability since the game launched, PlayStation players were left out.
Once the 2.0 update launches, things won’t just work. You’ll have to link your account on PSN to the rest of the accounts, which are all linked together with your miHoYo account. And while that might seem like something that will be either tedious or inconvenient, the process is actually really quite simple. It’s made all the easier thanks to miHoYo, which recently explained how to enable cross-save for Genshin Impact on the PS5 and PS4.
If you plan to play on either of those two consoles from time to time, this handy guide will walk you through how to get everything connected. So you can freely jump between platforms as you see fit. First though, let’s go over why this is a good idea if you have a PS4 or PS5.
Why you want enable cross-save for Genshin Impact on PS5
If you have a PS4 or PS5, then the big reason for enabling the cross-save feature is so you just have an extra platform to play on. Playing the game on PC is great. But, maybe you feel like playing the game on the couch on a large TV so you can really take in everything that Teyvat has to offer.
Or maybe you primarily play on console but you have to share the TV, and you need to switch devices if you want to continue playing. Well, this is why you want to link the PSN account for cross-save. Because you can carry that progress on the PS4 or PS5 over to a mobile device or a gaming PC is you have it. And vise versa.
How to enable cross-save for Genshin Impact on PS5
To enable cross-save on PS5, you’ll need to link your miHoYo account to your PSN account. Which is essentially linking the PC, Android, and iOS accounts to PSN. As the miHoYo account covers all of them.
Worth noting is that there are two processes to complete this task. And which one you use will depend on where you’re pulling your main account from. Basically, if you play on PC and mobile, then you’ll have a different set of steps than those that play on PS4 or PS5.
There are also a couple of caveats to be aware of, but we’ll go over those a bit later. First, let’s go over the steps for linking your PC/mobile miHoYo account to your PS4 or PS5.
