Following the pre-installation release earlier this week, HoYoverse has launched the highly anticipated Genshin Impact (Free) version 5.0 update, titled "Flowers Resplendent on the Sun-Scorched Sojourn," on mobile, PC, and PlayStation. This major update introduces the new nation of Natlan, accessible to players of all levels, along with exciting new characters like Mualani, and eagerly awaited reruns for Raiden Shogun. The first Genshin Impact 5.0 banner features Mualani, Kachina, and Kaedehara Kazuha, while banner 2 showcases Kinich and Raiden Shogun.

iOS users who pre-installed the update should experience a seamless transition with minimal additional download, although the game may take some time to reorganize existing resources upon login. New players can download Genshin Impact for free on the App Store for iOS here and on Google Play for Android here. The PC version is available on the official website here and the Epic Games Store. iOS players with iOS 14.5 or iPadOS 14.5 and later can enjoy Genshin Impact using PS5 and Xbox Series X|S controllers. Previously featured as our Game of the Week upon its release and awarded our 2020 Game of the Year, Genshin Impact also stands out as one of the best iOS games for controller play.
