Genshin Impact will be removed from the PS4 store starting next month, and will stop functioning altogether by April 2026 on PS4. That's that.

>using a 10+ yo console as your sole gaming machine in 2025

>Genshin Impact will be removed from the PS4
If only they removed it from all other consoles, PC, and mobile as well

Phones don't use 5400rpm HDD's lmao

>>717416832
but I love the game

>>717414236 (OP)
thats actually huge fucking news. it means other gachas/mmos/live service will follow suit. for example ps4 version of pso2 mmo by sega is fucking dead

so that's how genshin dies in Japan?

Neither does my PS4.
>>717416102
Every game I'm interested in still comes out for it, so why should I buy a PS5? 720p 30fps is more than enough, my TV is 15 years old anyway.

Japan gave up on Sony.

nips have no problem gaming on their phone. fuck, they play more phone games than any other vidya.

>>717417203
everything in japan is mobile focused. nips would sooner play wuwa on steam deck than wuwa on ps5.

the biggest majority of Genshin players in Japan only play on their PS4 though. mobile is just for fast grind stuff like KinoArchive or Shitblue Fantasy.

>we have to replace technology because time moved forward and old bad new good!
*stands up* I love mcdonalds!

if they have multiple hundreds or thousands of dollars spent whaling, they're legit just gonna buy a ps5 or pc to keep playing it. sunk cost is a bitch.

>>717417909
genshin is literally crossplay game. you can carry over your progress to pc or phone or gaming handheld. same with wuthering waves.

these games are different compared to your average /v/ game

>what is a PC
this is the literal only reason people still buy consoles, habit.
That SSD was available for a whole decade before you kids got them btw.

They all laugh at it, and yet, it lives on...

You know the drill:
WU

More like Sony gave up on Japan and the Japanese consumers responded appropriately.

No refunds btw
