If you're a Genshin Impact player on Android, you're in for a treat. The long-awaited controller support is finally on its way, set to arrive with the Version 5.5 update. iOS users have enjoyed this feature since 2021, but now it's Android's turn to enhance the gaming experience with a controller.
When Will Genshin Impact Get Controller Support on Android?
Mark your calendars for March 26th, 2025. On this date, you'll be able to seamlessly 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 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.
In addition to controller support, Version 5.5 is packed with other quality-of-life enhancements. One notable improvement is the introduction of cross-scene quest tracking. This feature allows you to track your quests across different areas effortlessly by simply opening the map and teleporting to your desired location.
New and returning players will benefit from updated boss guides that delve deeper into enemy mechanics, making it easier to strategize and conquer challenges. Furthermore, the Artifact system, Serenitea Pot, and Mail system are all set to receive optimizations. While the specifics of these changes will be detailed during the Special Program Announcement on March 14th, you can stay updated by following the Developer's Discussion for March.
