The PlayStation-miHoYo Account Link will let PlayStation users cross-save on different devices in Version 2.0. Learn how to cross-save on the PlayStation, and other information in this guide!
List of Contents
Linking your PSN account to a miHoYo account will let you play Genshin Impact on different devices! Once your PSN account has been confirmed with a valid email address, you'll be able to log in on iOS, Android, or PC to play.
Take note however, that once you've linked an account you currently can't unlink that account.
There is no corresponding server for TW, HK, and MO in the PlayStation network. So only the Asia, America, and Europe can be linked as of now.

Update 2.0 Release Date & Patch Notes
To successfully link your PSN and miHoYo accounts, you must use a valid email address that hasn't been linked to any miHoYo accounts before.
These are instructions for PlayStation players who want to play on different devices, like iOS, Android, or PC.
| How to Link Accounts | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Log into Genshin Impact on the PlayStation. |
| 2 | Go to Settings > Account > User Center > Link Account. |
| 3 | You can link an email address not associated with a miHoYo account there! |
| 4 | Once you're done, you can play Genshin Impact on Mobile or PC. |
These are instructions for iOS, Android, and PC players who want to play on the PlayStation.
| How to Link Accounts | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Open Genshin Impact on the PlayStation and log in with a PSN account that hasn't been used to play yet. |
| 2 | A pop-up window will appear to guide you with account linking. This pop-up window will only appear once, so be careful! |
| 3 | You can link an email address not associated with a miHoYo account there! |
The pop-up window that will prompt you to link your accounts will appear after you agree to the Terms of Service. You can't link an existing miHoYo Account other than through this window, so be careful not to skip it or your linking process will be lost!
The general rule for Account Linking is that one account should have game progress, while the other account should be new and un-linked. If you have game progress with your PSN account, then you need to link a third-party email that hasn't been used to play Genshin Impact yet.
As of now, shared progress between servers is not supported. This means that once you've made progress on a certain server, you can't switch servers even if you link accounts.
The Genesis Crystals that are purchased on different devices cannot be shared. For example, if you purchased Genesis Crystals on your PC, it will not show up (and therefore can't be used) on the PlayStation and vice versa!
For a list of all rules and FAQs on PSN-miHoYo account links, take a look at the official miHoYo guide!
