Genshin Impact 5.5: Android Controller Support Added

For all the Android gamers out there diving into the world of Genshin Impact, there's exciting news on the horizon: controller support is finally making its way to your devices. Yes, the long wait is over, and with the arrival of Version 5.5, you'll soon be able to immerse yourself in the game using a controller. This feature, which iOS users have enjoyed since 2021, is a game-changer for Android players seeking a more console-like experience.

When Will Genshin Impact Get Controller Support on Android?

Mark your calendars for March 26th, 2025, as that's when you'll be able to connect your Android device to a controller and explore the vast world of Genshin Impact without relying on the touchscreen. The update will officially support four types of controllers: DualShock 4, DualSense, Xbox Wireless Controller, and Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. Keep in mind that all these controllers require Bluetooth connectivity.

But that's not all Version 5.5 has in store. Alongside controller support, the update will introduce several quality-of-life improvements. One of the standout features is cross-scene quest tracking, allowing you to seamlessly follow quests across different areas by simply opening the map and teleporting to your desired destination.

Newer players will benefit from updated boss guides, which aim to provide a clearer understanding of enemy mechanics. Additionally, the Artifact system, Serenitea Pot, and Mail system are all set to receive optimizations, though the specifics of these enhancements will be unveiled during the Special Program Announcement on March 14th.
