Good news for all you *Genshin Impact* players on Android—the long-awaited controller support is finally making its way to your devices with Version 5.5. It's been a while since iOS users got to enjoy this feature back in 2021, but the wait is over. Get ready to enhance your gaming experience with a more immersive and comfortable setup.
When Will Genshin Impact Get Controller Support on Android?
Mark your calendars for March 26th, 2025, because that's when you can start connecting your Android device to a controller and dive into the world of *Genshin Impact* without the need for touchscreen controls. The update will officially support four controllers: DualShock 4, DualSense, Xbox Wireless Controller, and Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. Keep in mind, all of these require a Bluetooth connection.
But that's not all—Version 5.5 is packed with other quality-of-life improvements to make your adventure even smoother. One exciting addition is cross-scene quest tracking, allowing you to seamlessly follow your quests across different areas. Just open the map and teleport directly to your quest location.
New players will also benefit from updated boss guides, which will provide a better understanding of enemy mechanics. Additionally, the Artifact system, Serenitea Pot, and Mail system are all set to receive optimizations. More details on these enhancements will be unveiled during the Special Program Announcement on March 14th.
