Sure, here it is:

So, um, big news from HoYoverse, you know, the folks behind Genshin Impact? They just dropped a bombshell about the PS4. Apparently, our beloved console is getting the chop. No more updates, nada, zip, after, like, next spring? And it’s getting yanked from the PlayStation Store, like, next month. By February 2026, all those shiny in-game purchases? Poof. Gone. And yeah, eventually, no more logging in from the PS4. Just gone. Poof.
Here’s the kicker—they say it’s all about hardware limits and, you know, app sizes. Whatever that means. They’re breaking it down on September 9, 2025. Genshin’s gonna vanish from the PlayStation Store. If you haven’t snagged it by then? Well, tough luck, ’cause it’s disappearing into the digital ether.
And oh, after February 25, 2026, all your cool in-game purchases? They’re getting the axe too. So if you’ve bought stuff and left it hanging, you better grab it. Or, poof, it’s gone for good.
Come April 8, 2026, forget about logging into Genshin on your PS4. That’s it, lights out. Doesn’t mean your account’s toast, though. You can hop on over to Xbox Series, PS5, PC, or even mobile. Funny, huh? They’re saying PS4 can’t handle it anymore, but your phone can? Makes total sense… not!
PS4 is from 2013, old news, I guess. But really? My phone from 2017 is cool but the PS4 isn’t? They say the game needs 8 gigs of space and 3 gigs of memory on Android. iOS wants an iPhone 8 or newer. But come on, PS4 has 8GB RAM and 500GB storage. Plenty, right?
Anyway, HoYoverse responds, “For future updates and better game performance, Genshin Impact specs are going up with the ‘Song of the Welkin Moon’ version.” Sure, okay. But the PS4 couldn’t hang? Hmm. If you’re clinging to a dinosaur Android, maybe some issues. But, really? PS4’s out of the loop? Quite the head-scratcher. It’s like a reminder—modern games, they sure don’t stick around.
