Genshin Impact 5.5: Android Controller Support Added
If you're a *Genshin Impact* player on Android, get ready for some exciting news: controller support is finally on its way. After a long wait, especially since iOS users enjoyed this feature since 2021, Android players will soon experience the game in a whole new way with Version 5.5.
When Will Genshin Impact Get Controller Support on Android?
Mark your calendars for March 26th, 2025, as that's when you'll be able to connect your Android device to a controller and explore 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, all of these require Bluetooth connectivity.
In addition to controller support, Version 5.5 is bringing a host of quality-of-life improvements. One standout feature is cross-scene quest tracking, allowing you to follow your quests seamlessly across different areas. Just open the map and teleport directly to your desired destination with ease.
For those new to the game, the update includes enhanced boss guides to help you better understand enemy mechanics. Moreover, the Artifact system, Serenitea Pot, and Mail system are all set for optimizations. You can catch the full details during the Special Program Announcement scheduled for March 14th.
