Following the pre-installation release earlier this week, HoYoverse has launched the highly anticipated Genshin Impact (Free) version 5.0 update, "Flowers Resplendent on the Sun-Scorched Sojourn," on mobile, PC, and PlayStation. This major update introduces the new nation of Natlan, accessible to players of all levels, along with exciting new characters like Mualani, and highly anticipated character reruns including Raiden Shogun. The first Genshin Impact 5.0 banner features Mualani, Kachina, and Kaedehara Kazuha, while banner 2 showcases Kinich and Raiden Shogun.

iOS users who pre-installed the update should experience minimal additional download, though the game may require some time to reorganize old resources upon login. New players can download Genshin Impact for free on the App Store for iOS here, Google Play for Android here, and the PC version is available on the official website here and the Epic Games Store. iOS players using iOS 14.5 or iPadOS 14.5 and later can enjoy Genshin Impact with PS5 and Xbox Series X|S controllers. Previously, we featured Genshin Impact as our Game of the Week upon its release and awarded it our 2020 Game of the Year. It was also highlighted as one of the best iOS games for controller play.
