Does my Genshin Impact progress carry over to other platforms?

Best answer: Yes, Genshin Impact features cross-save/cross-progression between the PC, iOS, and Android versions of the game. However, it does not support cross-save with the PS4 version.

How does cross-save work in Genshin Impact?

When you sign up to play Genshin Impact on PC, iOS, or Android, you'll be creating an account and signing in with your email address. This means it's extremely simple to access cross-save on any of these three platforms. Just make sure you're logging in with the same email account that you used on the device you want to continue your progression from, and all your progress will be there automatically.

So, for instance, if you've played for a time on Android and want to continue the same game on PC, simply install the game on PC and log in with the same email and password you used to play on Android. Everything you earned will already be there waiting for you, and you can swap back to Android (or even to iOS!) any time you want. Everything is saved to your account and carried over.

So what's the deal with cross-save in Genshin Impact on PS4?

PS4 is the odd-platform-out with cross-progression because rather than tying your account to an email address, your progress is saved to your PSN account. However, you cannot log into the game via PSN on PC, iOS, or Android. Therefore, there's no way to access that progress elsewhere, or bring it over from another platform.

This is important to keep in mind especially when starting the game for the first time. If you want to play on console and are comfortable with the fact that you won't be able to carry your data over to any other platforms later on, playing on PS4 is no problem. But if you think there's any chance you'll want to take the game on the go on mobile, you may want to reconsider where you start.

Can I still play Genshin Impact with my friends on PS4 from another platform?

Fortunately, yes. Genshin Impact's cross-platform play is tied to player IDs, which are universal across all platforms. So when you access the co-op feature, you'll be able to connect with friends regardless of the platform you are on or they are on.

What else do I need to know before I start Genshin Impact?

The hidden cost of food delivery

Noah Lichtenstein Contributor Share on Twitter Noah Lichtenstein is the founder and managing partner of Crossover , a diversified private technology fund backed by institutional investors, technology execs and professional athletes and entertainers. More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
