Genshin Impact has been one of the most important games of 2020, a title that pleasantly surprised everyone due to its careful graphics and because it was possible to play it on a smartphone. Along with this, the regular updates adding new content also helped, although iOS users were missing something that now finally arrives and multiplies the playability on iPhone and iPad .
Geshin Impact already supports MFi game controllers
If you like role-playing games and want to enjoy them on your smartphone, today we could say that one of the most attractive options (even the most attractive) is Genshin Impact . A title that with surprising graphic quality , typical of traditional consoles rather than mobile devices, has managed to conquer millions of users throughout the planet.
Recently its developers updated with important improvements at the content level, with new maps and other elements that made the game and the stories it proposes much more attractive. Still, for some users there was something they were interested in getting much more than even that extra content. In particular those who play on Apple devices.
Despite the popularity of the title, iPhone or iPad users could not enjoy the game using a gamepad such as the Xbox or Playstation, two of the most popular and used by many when playing on iOS and iPadOS. Well, that problem is over thanks to the latest update.
Genshin Impact version 1.3 will finally support MF i game controllers . That is, controls with Apple certification that guarantee that they are made for use with iPhone (Made for iPhone). Although logically they are also valid for use with other brand products such as the iPad or Apple TV.
This seal or certification system is important to ensure that the mapping of the buttons of a gamepad is suitable for use on these devices. Because if not, it is likely that when you press certain buttons the action will not be carried out and you will not be able, for example, to press the one that would do the Start functions to start the game or even worse to perform key actions such as jumping, shooting , etc.
New update 1.3 Genshin Impact
The new version 1.3 of Genshin Impact will be released shortly and as confirmed on their blog will offer support for controllers compatible with Apple devices. These controls will be:
- Xbox Wireless Controller (Bluetooth version)
- Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2
- Playstation DualShock 4 Wireless Controller
- Bluetooth controllers compatible with iOS
These last controls, those that are designed specifically for iOS devices, may not offer full support and only partial support. This is partly due to the fact that there are models, such as the Nimbus, that do not introduce certain common buttons such as the Star or Select. So there may be the case of certain incompatibilities or actions that cannot be performed due to their lack or inaccurate mapping.
To connect one of these controls to an iPhone, iPad or Apple TV you just have to follow these steps:
- Turn on the remote and press on the respective pairing button that they integrate
- Access the iOS or iPadOS Settings and then Bluetooth
- Locate the name of the remote and hit connect
- Ready
