Genshin Impact 5.5: Android Controller Support Added

If you're a Genshin Impact player on Android, you're in for a treat as the long-awaited controller support is finally on its way with Version 5.5. Yes, the wait is over, and Android users can soon bid farewell to touchscreen controls, a feature that iOS users have enjoyed since 2021.

When Will Genshin Impact Get Controller Support on Android?

Starting March 26th, 2025, you’ll be able to connect your Android device to a controller and dive into the world of Genshin Impact with enhanced precision. The update will officially support four controllers: DualShock 4, DualSense, Xbox Wireless Controller, and Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. Keep in mind, all these require Bluetooth connectivity.

Beyond controller support, Version 5.5 is packed with quality-of-life improvements. One standout feature is the cross-scene quest tracking. This allows you to seamlessly track your quests across different areas of the game. Simply open the map and teleport directly to your desired destination, making your adventures smoother and more enjoyable.

New players will benefit from updated boss guides, designed to help you better understand enemy mechanics and enhance your gameplay strategy. Moreover, the Artifact system, Serenitea Pot, and Mail system are all receiving optimizations.
