As per a recent Genshin Impact leak, version 4.2 will bring six new quality-of-life features later this year, including the ability to customize the login screen and quick access to weekly bosses. There have been heaps of leaks around Genshin Impact over the last few weeks, giving players a glimpse of what future versions have to offer. Players already know that the update 4.2 will add new Genius Invokation cards and give a free copy of Freminet, a four-star Cryo user rooted in the Fontaine region. These leaks are tagged as reliable, which means they will probably turn out to be true.
Genshin Impact version 4.1 is now here, featuring a lot of fresh content like new events, weapons, and character banners. The five-star units Wriothesley and Neuvillette will be available to pick up during two banner stages, and players will explore two new Fontaine sections filled with formidable enemies. There are also story quests players can complete to progress in the Archon storyline, which require them to search for the imprisoned Childe in the Fontaine region.
A new Genshin Impact leak from CroiX has revealed that the version 4.2 update will add some quality-of-life features, including the ability to customize rounded corners of the login screen and share Genius Invokation card decks. Players will be able to access Genshin Impact's weekly bosses through a menu or button instead of visiting their domain entrances. Also, version 4.2 will bring a controversial feature that may cause some players to be banned for abnormal behavior. The leak doesn't specifically reveal what counts as "abnormal behavior", but players who intentionally use bugs should be worried about it.
Many Genshin Impact players on the Reddit thread are concerned about what can be counted as abnormal behavior, with some jokingly saying that they will be banned for a vague reason. Some also suggested Hoyoverse add more quality-of-life features, including artifact loudouts, increased sensitivity for consoles, and dark mode. As the version 4.2 update approaches, more information about this "abnormal behavior" should be revealed in the near future.
Genshin Impact players have been requesting some quality-of-life features that could make things easier for them. Recently, one suggested HoYoverse add the ability to mark caves with an entrance symbol, while another proposed a minor feature that allows them to claim all expedition rewards at once. It remains to be seen if the Genshin Impact community will make its voice heard.
Genshin Impact is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices. A Switch version is in development.
