If you're an Android player of *Genshin Impact*, you're in for a treat: controller support is on its way! The wait has been long, but the feature is set to arrive with Version 5.5. It's a much-anticipated update, especially since iOS players enjoyed this feature since 2021.
When Will Genshin Impact Get Controller Support on Android?
Mark your calendars for March 26th, 2025, as this is when you'll finally be able to dive into *Genshin Impact* with a controller connected to your Android device, ditching the touchscreen for a more immersive experience. 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 controllers require Bluetooth connectivity.
Alongside controller support, Version 5.5 promises a host of quality-of-life improvements. One standout feature is cross-scene quest tracking, which will allow you to effortlessly follow quests across different areas by simply opening the map and teleporting to your desired location.
Additionally, boss guides are being updated to better assist new players in understanding enemy mechanics. The Artifact system, Serenitea Pot, and Mail system are also receiving optimizations. For a full rundown of these changes, tune into the Special Program Announcement scheduled for March 14th.
