If you're a Genshin Impact player on Android, you'll be thrilled to hear that the long-awaited controller support is finally on its way. The wait has indeed been lengthy, especially since iOS users have enjoyed this feature since 2021. But fret not, as the update with controller support is scheduled to roll out with Version 5.5.
When Will Genshin Impact Get Controller Support on Android?
Mark your calendars for March 26th, 2025, because that's when you'll be able to connect your Android device to a controller and dive into the world of Genshin Impact without relying on the touchscreen. The update will officially support four controllers: DualShock 4, DualSense, Xbox Wireless Controller, and Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. Keep in mind that all these controllers require Bluetooth connectivity.
In addition to controller support, Version 5.5 promises a host of quality-of-life improvements. One notable feature is cross-scene quest tracking, allowing you to seamlessly follow quests across different areas by simply opening the map and teleporting directly to your desired location. This should significantly enhance your gameplay experience.
Furthermore, boss guides are set to receive an update, which will be particularly beneficial for newer players trying to grasp enemy mechanics. The Artifact system, Serenitea Pot, and Mail system are also slated for optimizations. While the specifics of these changes will be unveiled during the Special Program Announcement on March 14th, you can stay ahead of the curve by checking out the Developer's Discussion for March.
