We detail everything we know about version 1.1 of Genshin Impact, which will add many new features and improvements to the game on PC, PS4, iOS and Android.
miHoYo presents all the news that will come to Genshin Impact with the arrival of patch 1.1, which will serve to update the game and prepare it for its arrival on PS5. That doesn’t mean the update is console-exclusive, far from it. In fact, we can enjoy all the content and general improvements on PC and the iOS and Android mobile versions. Since these are quite extensive patch notes, here is a summary, in addition to remembering that a new character, Klee, recently arrived, and that you have a complete guide to the game on FreeGameTips.
Genshin Impact Update 1.1 Details
Rewards in Protogems
As is customary in Genshin Impact, each time they carry out a major update for which they must temporarily close the servers, players will receive a series of Protogems in exchange and as compensation. In this case it will be 300 + 300, that is, up to 600 protogems at once both due to maintenance and a bug fix they have made. In order to claim this reward we must have an adventure rank higher than 5 and redeem the mail (within the game itself) within 30 days.
