Summary
AGenshin Impactleak has revealed several interesting quality-of-life improvements that will arrive in the next update. Even thoughGenshin Impact’s playable roster is the main focus of each update, HoYoverse also introduces numerous important updates that often fly under the radar.
So far,Genshin Impacthas a great track record of listening to player feedback, frequently making small changes based on fan demand, ranging from minor interface tweaks to improvements in artifact farming. RecentGenshin Impactleaks suggest that the upcoming Version 5.6 will be packed with content, including some significant adjustments, especially for mobile players.
A newGenshin Impactleakhas revealed a list of quality-of-life improvements expected to go live with Version 5.6. The most important change will target mobile players, allowing them to choose between “Full Resources” and “Basic Resources” after installation. Selecting the basic option will require downloading additional files for Story Quests and Hangout Events. These additional files will be available in the Resources tab ofGenshin Impact’s Settings menu. The optimization change will also support the auto-installation of completed Archon and Story Quest resources, significantly reducing the overall game size, an increasingly pressing issue, especially for mobile users. While most fans seem excited about this change, others argue thatGenshin Impactshould implement a similar feature for PC users, pointing out that having two HoYoverse titles, such asGenshinandZenless Zone Zero, can require up to 170GB of storage.
Genshin Impact Leak Shows Important Quality-of-Life Changes for 5.6
Beyond mobile optimizations, players seem most excited about the new Auto Chess game mode, which has been teased for months.PreviousGenshin Impactleakshave indicated that this new mode will feature both PvP and PvE, as well as a complex progression system. While HoYoverse has yet to make any official announcement, players suspect that its design will revolve around Liyue Millennial, a board game invented byGenshin Impact’s Ningguang.
Genshin Impacthas introduced similar modes in the past through multiple limited-time events, and player feedback has generally been positive. The main request from fans is for the new Auto Chess mode to remain a permanent feature, just likeGenshin Impact’s Genius Invokation TCG, which debuted during the Sumeru arc.
