HoYoverse has announced that starting from the Genshin Impact 6.0 update, which will mark the beginning of the Song of the Welkin Moon chapter and introduce the Nod-Krai region, the system requirements for all playable devices will be increased. Considering the developer aims to improve the graphical quality of the game and further expand Teyvat’s map, it is quite understandable for them to opt for this route. Doing so will allow them to provide this title a much-needed overhaul without being bound by the specs of the currently supported devices. Let’s look at the new system requirements for various devices to run Genshin Impact starting from version 6.0.
