HoYoverse’s next game will launch simultaneously on PC, PS5, iOS, and Android – a first for the company, but not a challenge it won’t be able to tackle thanks to its vast resources and talent. It has full cross-progression capabilities, so you can choose whichever device you want to start out with and can easily continue playing on a different one.
