The Genshin Impact launch schedule has been released and it looks like things will be kicking off very soon.

The new RPG from developers miHoYo has been in development for some time and will be available to play across a number of big platforms.

But unlike other titles that have been launching of late, Genshin Impact will offer different ways to download and play.

On PS4, Genshin Impact will be available as a free-to-play title, with an option to pre-order a starter bundle.

This will come with the benefit of preloading the game before the servers go live later this week, as well as add a number of bonus items to your account.
