Genshin Impact 5.5 Now Supports Android Controllers

If you're a Genshin Impact enthusiast playing on Android, you'll be thrilled to know that controller support is on its way. The long-awaited feature will finally be available with the release of Version 5.5, putting an end to the wait that began when iOS users received this update back in 2021.

When Will Genshin Impact Get Controller Support on Android?

Starting March 26th, 2025, you'll be able to enhance your gaming experience by connecting your Android device to a controller, allowing you to explore the world of Genshin Impact without relying on the touchscreen. The update will officially support four controllers: DualShock 4, DualSense, Xbox Wireless Controller, and Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. Keep in mind that all these controllers require Bluetooth connectivity.

In addition to controller support, Version 5.5 will introduce several quality-of-life enhancements. One notable feature is cross-scene quest tracking, which will allow you to seamlessly track quests across different areas. Simply open the map and teleport directly to your desired destination, making your journey through Teyvat smoother and more enjoyable.

The update also includes improvements to boss guides, aiding newer players in understanding enemy mechanics better. Furthermore, optimizations are coming to the Artifact system, Serenitea Pot, and Mail system. Full details on these enhancements will be unveiled during the Special Program Announcement on March 14th.
