While the main highlight Gensha’s influenceUpdate 2.0 may have been the addition of the Inazuma region to the game, many fans may also be excited to know that the title now supports cross-save between all devices. Previously, this feature was only available between PC and mobile platforms, but with the recent update, PS4/PS5 users can now freely transfer their progress between devices with just a few simple steps.
Before outlining the steps required to link accounts, there are two important points to keep in mind that may cause problems for some players. The first is that PS4/PS5 players will not be able to link their account to an email that is already registered to a miHoYo account on PC. Similarly, PC/Mobile players will not be able to connect to a PSN account that has already been used to sign in to Gensha’s influence.
CONNECTING PS4/PS5 TO PC/MOBILE
To begin the process of linking a PS4/PS5 account to a PC/mobile device, players must first log into the game and access the settings from the in-game menu.
In the settings menu, select the Account option, then select “Customer Center”.
When players select “User Center”, an in-game web browser will open with an option to link accounts.
After selecting “Link Account” players must enter an email address that will be used to log into Genshin Impact on PC/MOBILE DEVICE. As previously mentioned, the email address that players enter cannot already be associated with a miHoYo account on the computer.
Once players have successfully linked their account, they will now be able to login to Genshin Impact on PC using the email address they just registered and can now use the cross-save feature.
CONNECT PC/MOBILE DEVICE TO PS4/PS5
In order to link a PC/Mobile account to PS4/PS5 players must first install Genshin Impact on their console.
After opening the game, one of the first options players will get will be “Connect miHoYo (Email)”
Select this option and enter the email address associated with the PC/Mobile account
After entering the verification code, your account progress should be transferred.
CRYSTALS OF GENESIS
Players should be aware that Genesis Crystals purchased on PC/MOBILE or PS4/PS5 are not transferable from one platform to another. As a result, if players have purchased a certain amount of Genesis Crystals on PS4/PS5, they will not appear when players log in on PC/Mobile.
While this may be a minor inconvenience, it is extremely common practice for Gacha games that support cross-platform saves. As a result, players should turn their Genesis Crystals into Primogems or Wishes that will spawn between platforms.
Gensha’s influence is available for mobile, PC, PS4 and PS5, with a Switch version in development.
