Now Devs Are Politely Asking Their PS4 Players to Upgrade to PS5

by

A major hurdle for the PS5 has been convincing players to switch from their PS4 consoles, which were incredibly popular.

Because the latest gaming systems are still expensive, fewer people are upgrading, and this is now impacting game publishers – even Capcom has noted the slowdown.

Genshin Impact will no longer support older devices starting April 8th, and the game’s publisher has released a promotional message encouraging players to update to a newer version.

The trailer clearly shows the game is now bigger and better than before, designed for the latest consoles. Players hoping to keep playing will need to upgrade to new-generation hardware.

The game itself hasn’t changed, but it now loads much faster and looks even more stunning in 4K resolution.

Today also marks the release of the new Miliastra Wonderland mode. It lets you enjoy hundreds of experiences created by other players, including quick multiplayer games and longer story-based adventures. However, this mode won’t be available on the PlayStation 4 version.

To help everyone try out the new mode, all PlayStation players will get a code for 320 Geode of Replication crystals – a brand new in-game currency.

It’s notable to see an advertisement like this released. HoYoverse likely has data on how many players are still using the PS4 version, and this ad seems designed to convince them to upgrade to a newer platform.
