"Genshin Impact 5.5 Update: Android Controller Support Added"

If you're a Genshin Impact player on Android, you're in for a treat. The long-awaited controller support is finally making its way to your devices with the release of Version 5.5. This feature, which iOS users have enjoyed since 2021, will enhance your gaming experience significantly.

When Will Genshin Impact Get Controller Support on Android?

Mark your calendars for March 26th, 2025, as this is 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 support four popular controllers: DualShock 4, DualSense, Xbox Wireless Controller, and Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. Remember, all these controllers require Bluetooth connectivity.

In addition to controller support, Version 5.5 will introduce several quality-of-life improvements. One of the standout features is cross-scene quest tracking, allowing you to follow quests across different areas effortlessly. Simply open the map and teleport to your desired location with ease.

Newer players will benefit from updated boss guides, which will provide a better understanding of enemy mechanics. Furthermore, the Artifact system, Serenitea Pot, and Mail system are all set to receive optimizations. While specific details on these enhancements will be shared during the Special Program Announcement on March 14th, you can stay updated by tuning into the Developer’s Discussion for March.

For more information on the game and upcoming changes, be sure to visit the Genshin Impact page on the Google Play Store.
