- The update is expected to launch on March 26, 2025.
Five years after the open-world gacha giant Genshin Impact took the world by storm, Android users will soon finally be able to play with a controller. In the latest Developer’s Discussion posted earlier today, miHoYo announced that controller support will be added to the Android version of the game as part of Version 5.5.
The post only lists four compatible controllers: Dualshock 4 Wireless Controller, DualSense Wireless Controller, Xbox Wireless Controller, and Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. Notably, all of these are wireless controllers that require Bluetooth to function. In other words, USB-C-based telescopic gamepads like Razer Kishi may not be officially supported.
