If you're a *Genshin Impact* player on Android, you'll be thrilled to hear that the long-awaited controller support is finally making its way to your devices. The wait is over, as this exciting feature will be introduced with Version 5.5. It's been a long time coming, especially since iOS users have been enjoying this functionality since 2021.
When Will Genshin Impact Get Controller Support on Android?
Starting March 26th, 2025, you’ll be able to enhance your *Genshin Impact* experience by connecting your Android device to a controller. This update will let you explore the world of Teyvat without relying on the touchscreen. Version 5.5 will officially support four controllers: DualShock 4, DualSense, Xbox Wireless Controller, and Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. Keep in mind, all these controllers require Bluetooth connectivity.
In addition to controller support, Version 5.5 will introduce several quality-of-life improvements. One notable enhancement is the cross-scene quest tracking feature, allowing you to track quests seamlessly across different areas. Simply open the map and teleport directly to your desired destination, making your adventure more fluid and enjoyable.
Boss guides are also set to receive an update, which will be particularly beneficial for newer players looking to better understand enemy mechanics. Furthermore, the Artifact system, Serenitea Pot, and Mail system are all slated for optimizations. While the full details of these changes will be unveiled during the Special Program Announcement on March 14th, you can stay informed by checking out the Developer’s Discussion for the month of March.
