Genshin Impact cross-save: How to link accounts on PC, PS4, PS5, Mobile

While Genshin Impact works wonders on mobile devices, there are times when you’ll want to link your miHoYo accounts to see the world of Teyvat on the big screen. Fortunately, the open-world title allows you to hook your existing mobile account up to devices like PS4, PS5, and PC. 

Genshin Impact players from around the world are currently looking forward to the upcoming Inazuma update, which will add a whole new region and plenty of characters to the game’s ever-growing roster. 

While playing on mobile is a great way to explore on the go, sometimes it’s best to just kick back and enjoy Teyvat in all its glory. In order to get the best experience, you’ll need to link your mobile account up to a PC and PS4/PS5 device.

Fortunately, doing this is fairly easy and doesn’t take more than a couple of minutes. Whether you’re tired of playing on mobile or just wish to see how Genshin plays on the big screen, then you’ll want to follow our handy guide to help get you up and running.

The 2.0 update sees new Inazuma characters added to the fray to explore the world of Teyvat.

Linking your accounts on either PS4 or PS5 is also incredibly easy, with a slight caveat. If you’ve already previously logged into the game on console prior to cross-save being introduced, you will not be able to link an account that’s associated with that email address. These steps will also only work on a fresh install of the game:

• When the game loads, a notice titled ‘Welcome to Genshin Impact‘ will appear. It’ll prompt you to read two agreements.
• After agreeing to them, another notice will appear saying ‘Prepare to Begin Your Adventure‘. Here, you’re able to link your existing email address associated with your current mobile account.
• Select ‘Link miHoYo account (Email)‘.
• A browser window will pop up. Enter your email, and you’ll be sent a verification code.
• Enter that into the bottom box, and your account will be linked.
• You’re all set – enjoy exploring Teyvat on console!

Cross save functionality has been a hugely requested feature.
