A major free-to-play open-world RPG, Genshin Impact, is now fully accessible on PlayStation consoles without the need for a PlayStation Plus subscription. Developed by miHoYo, the game offers a vast, anime-inspired world named Teyvat, featuring deep combat mechanics based on elemental reactions, extensive exploration, and an ongoing narrative.
