The plot of Genshin Impact may be the same on mobile, PS4, or PC variants but there are differences when playing it on these devices.
Gamers have always asked whether there are differences in the mobile, PS4, and PC variants of Genshin Impact. The short answer is yes, there are several differences. Even if the game versions are the same, there are distinct differences when playing the game on mobile devices, PS4, and PC.
The biggest difference when playing the mobile, PS4, or PC variants of Genshin Impact is how you interact with the game. For mobile devices, you go on tapping the screen, while on PS4, you do it with a controller and a TV. On the other hand, you use a keyboard and a mouse when playing it on a PC.
The entire mobile, PS4, or PC variants of Genshin Impact are available for download on various platforms. You can download the Android and iOS versions of the game on Google Play Store and Apple Store, respectively, for free. You can also download it for free at the Playstation Store or you can go to the Genshin Impact official site when using a PC and download it there, also for free.
Even if you can play Genshin Impact on mobile devices, PS4, or PC, you have to remember each variant may have subtle to noticeable differences. For instance, you will notice that the controls and visuals of the game are better on the PS4 and PC as compared to mobile devices. The game, however, still works pretty well when played on a mobile device.
While you can control your actions on a mobile device with screen taps, it is not as easy when using a mouse and keyboard on a PC or a controller with a PS4. Since Genshin Impact does not have official controller support at the time of its launch, it is not possible to hook up an Xbox One Controller or a PS4 controller on your mobile device to play this game. If you want to use a controller or a keyboard, you might want to play the PS4 or PC variant of Genshin Impact instead of playing the mobile variant of the game.
At present, you can play the Android and iOS mobile, PS4, or PC variants of Genshin Impact, but it is also rumored that it will soon come to Nintendo Switch though the developer did not announce any release date yet for that console. In the meantime, you can switch playing the game on your mobile or PC. You can also do the same on your PS4 though you should know that it does not support cross saves, which means you can only continue playing on Sony's PS4 consoles if you start the game using this platform.
