Genshin Impact is one of the most popular games on the Android Playstore right now and has become somewhat of a benchmarking tool for smartphone reviewers due to its high CPU and GUP demands.
Reviewers and tech enthusiasts have reported that the smartphones with the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC have not been able to run the game on desired settings due to them being locked at ‘default’ but that reportedly changes now.
According to a new report by ITHome, the game developers have released a new update for Genshin Impact that adds support for the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC and upcoming MediaTek 9000 SoC devices. The changelogs show that post update, the settings will no longer be stuck at “default” and can be changed according to the user’s needs for the best experience.
This means that owners of devices that host the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC like the Xiaomi 12, the Realme GT 2 Pro, and the Moto Edge X30 can now play the game at a higher resolution in contrast with the previously locked resolution of around 600p.
For those unaware, Genshin Impact is a free-to-play action role-playing game developed by Chinese developer miHoYo, and first published in 2020. The game features an anime-style open-world environment and an action-based battle system using elemental magic and character-switching.
The vast fantasy world features seven countries which you can freely explore, meet companions with different personalities and unique abilities and fight against powerful enemies with them.
