The bundle is priced at 3,599 Yuan (approximately 505 USD), and interested players have until March 12, 2026, to secure this exclusive offer.
Which Skins Can You Select?
The Skin Selector allows players to choose any 4-star skins available until Version 4.4. This includes the latest outfits for popular characters like Ganyu and Shenhe. Notably, Diluc's Red Dead of Night Skin, a 5-star skin, is excluded from this offer. The free 4.4 patch skin, Xingqiu's Bamboo Rain, is not part of the bundle.

Region-Locked Exclusive
The exclusivity of this bundle to China has sparked discussions among the global gaming community. While obtaining rare character skins is tempting, the region-locked nature of the offer has left international players questioning the availability of it beyond Chinese borders.
Pre-Sale Information
Pre-sales for the PlayStation 5 Genshin Impact edition started on 20 January 2024, leading to the official release on 26 January 2024. The retail price of 3,599 Yuan includes a slim and lightweight console with an optical drive version, making it an attractive package for avid Genshin Impact players and potential PS5 owners alike.
Player Reactions and Considerations
The exclusive nature of this bundle has sparked varied reactions within the Genshin Impact community. While some players express enthusiasm about the prospect of obtaining rare character skins, others raise concerns about the limited availability and the cost-effectiveness of the bundle.
This collaboration with PlayStation 5 is pretty good. Especially for those who have been contemplating buying a PS5. The extra rewards, including Primogems and character skins, sweeten the deal for avid Genshin Impact players.
