Just recently, Genshin Impact officially released version 2.4 and with it a slew of events that mark the arrival of new characters and many other novelties. That long-awaited launch, however, could be tarnished by a compelling discovery related to the Battle Pass.

Since some days, 2.4 update from Genshin impact is finally available. Since then, the revelations about the future characters have followed one another, so we can get to know Shenhe, Yae Miko, or even Yun Jin better.

But recently, MiHoYo has pinned the game a lot for some controversy: the youngest being alternative outfits comply with the restrictions imposed by the Chinese government. After this episode about the censorship of the game, Genshin Impact faces another bad advertisement to buy the Battle Pass.

Sony and crossplay, a complicated story

As FanByte reporter and editor Imran Khan reports, players seem to be there the inability to claim the Battle Pass rewards they bought on PS4 or PS5 on other platforms, namely PC and mobile.

An annoying situation for the players, which the journalist qualifies as useless in passing. Because in fact, When a player purchases the Battle Pass on Sony platforms, the company will be automatically reimbursed regardless of where the rewards are later redeemed

. A problem that does not affect the versions Pc and gaming phones currently.

The small and inconsequential war Sony continues to wage in crossplay is still weird.

With the new Genshin Impact update, you will no longer be able to claim Battle Pass rewards on other platforms if you purchased the pass on PlayStation. Sony already has your money here, so it’s pointless.

When some people mention a potential bug, it seems that the decision

that we don’t know whether they come from the developer or from Sony, is actually desired after some research in the patch note of version 2.4. There is a section throughout the update listing that deals with adjustments to the Battle Pass content claims.

Like the patch notes, The purchase of the Battle Pass “Gnostic Hymn” and “Gnostic Chorus” on the PlayStation Network via the PS4 or PS5 does not make it possible to claim the rewards on PC and mobile phone and vice versa.

Yet, If you purchase the Gnostic Hymn on consoles and upgrade to Gnostic Chorus from your PC or mobile phone, you can claim the rewards across all media. Note that reciprocity also works (transfer to PC or mobile phone, improvement via PlayStation Network).
