Wondering how to dive into the magical world of Genshin Impact on your PC using a PS4 controller? You’re not alone! This epic RPG experience doesn’t have to be limited to your PlayStation or mobile device. Let’s get you set up so you can start your adventure in Teyvat with your favorite controller.

If you’re asking, ‘Can I play Genshin Impact on my PC with a PS4 controller?’ The answer is a resounding yes, and we’re here to show you how!

Quick Guide to Connecting Your PS4 Controller to PC

First things first, you’ll need to connect your PS4 controller to your PC. This is pretty simple. You can do it either via a USB cable or Bluetooth. If you’re using a USB cable, just plug the controller into your PC. For a Bluetooth connection, hold the PS and Share buttons on your controller until the light bar starts flashing, then connect through your PC’s Bluetooth settings.

Windows should recognize your PS4 controller without requiring any additional software. However, if you want to customize your controller settings or ensure better compatibility, you might want to download DS4Windows, a free tool that lets your PC treat the PS4 controller as if it were an Xbox controller.

Jumping into Genshin Impact with Your PS4 Controller

Once your PS4 controller is connected, launching Genshin Impact is your next step. The game should automatically recognize your controller. If it doesn’t, make sure the game controller settings are correctly set in the game’s options menu. Now, you’re all set to explore, battle, and discover the vast world of Teyvat with the comfort of your PS4 controller in hand.

Remember, Genshin Impact is designed to support various controllers, ensuring a seamless gaming experience. So, if you prefer the tactile feel of your PS4 controller over keyboard and mouse, you’re in for a treat!
