Amazing updates are en-route Honkai: Star Rail and Genshin as IPhone 15 makes an entry

HoYoverse has exciting news for fans of both Honkai: Star Rail and Genshin Impact! These popular titles will be receiving major updates optimized for the new iPhone 15 Pro, which was unveiled at the Apple Event on September 12.

The iPhone 15 Pro has the powerful A17 Pro chip, opening up amazing and exciting possibilities for players of these games that were previously unavailable on older smartphone models.

Genshin Impact, one of HoYoverse's most successful titles, made its debut in September 2020 and quickly garnered millions of players who immersed themselves in the enchanting world of Teyvat.

Following the triumph of Genshin Impact, HoYoverse introduced the sci-fi turn-based RPG, Honkai: Star Rail, and promised a similar model of post-launch updates.

Meng Wang from HoYoverse is clearly impressed with the powerful GPU of the A17 Pro chip and has shown Genshin Impact running smoothly on the iPhone 15 Pro during a demonstration. Just like Honkai: Star Rail, Genshin Impact is set to receive a substantial graphical update tailored to the capabilities of the new iPhone model, allowing players to experience the game with demanding performance settings.
