Genshin Impact is getting its biggest update yet soon. On Wednesday July 21 miHoYo will release Genshin Impact update 2.0, which will add a whole new region to the hit game – Inazuma. This updated map isn’t the only change coming to Genshin Impact with version 2.0 – the inbound patch will also add gardening and changes to the Spiral Abyss.
Genshin Impact update 2.0 will also, of course, add new weapons and see the arrival of new character banners.
New characters heading to Genshin Impact with update 2.0 are Ayaka, Sayu, and Yoimiya.
This trio of new Genshin Impact characters are tied to the Inazuma region.
Besides this, miHoYo has quietly announced one other new feature for Genshin Impact, which could be a sign the release date for the long awaited Nintendo Switch version is on the horizon.
It had previously been rumoured that Genshin Impact was getting a cross save feature with update 2.0.
This feature would be important to the Switch version of the free-to-play game as it would allow existing players to easily transfer over their progress.
The news was revealed by the Genshin Report Twitter account towards the start of the month.
The @GenshinReport Twitter posted: “Cross-save between mobile, PC, and PlayStation will be introduced in version 2.0
“It will also be present when Genshin comes to Switch and allow for hoyolab on consoles”.
And now the official Genshin Impact Twitter account has confirmed that a cross save feature is launching with update 2.0.
The @GenshinImpact Twitter recently posted: “Greetings, dear Travelers,
“The cross-save function between account for #PlayStation and #miHoYo Account is coming to you in Version 2.0.”
While we still don’t know when exactly the Switch version of Genshin Impact will launch, the cross save feature will be an ideal tool for any existing players looking to use the Nintendo console as their main platform for playing the hugely popular free game going forward.
Explaining how the cross save feature works, miHoYo said: “The cross-save function between accounts allows you to link accounts from two different platforms (your account for PSN and your miHoYo Account) and share your progress as well as your in-game data between the two accounts. Once your account for PSN is linked to a valid email address, you will be able to log in on iOS/Android/PC using your miHoYo Account, or on PlayStation using the account for PSN linked to the email address associated with your miHoYo Account and resume your game progress.”
Genshin Impact update 2.0 has been dubbed ‘The Immovable God and the Eternal Euthymia’.
Here’s more details on the inbound patch: “A foreign thunderstorm tears the sky apart, splitting eternity. Flashes of lightning cut through the darkness, as a god’s will manifests.
“Overcome endless thunderstorms, set foot on the island of cherry blossoms, and witness the Eternity pursued by Her Excellency, the Almighty Narukami Ogosho.”
