A Genshin Impact leak has revealed several interesting quality-of-life improvements that will arrive in the next update. Even though Genshin Impact's playable roster is the main focus of each update, HoYoverse also introduces numerous important updates that often fly under the radar.
So far, Genshin Impact has a great track record of listening to player feedback, frequently making small changes based on fan demand, ranging from minor interface tweaks to improvements in artifact farming. Recent Genshin Impact leaks suggest that the upcoming Version 5.6 will be packed with content, including some significant adjustments, especially for mobile players.
Genshin Impact Leaks Major Details About New Cryo and Dendro Elemental Reaction
A Genshin Impact leak reveals details about a new Cryo and Dendro elemental reaction that is expected to arrive in the upcoming 5.6 update.
A new Genshin Impact leak has revealed a list of quality-of-life improvements expected to go live with Version 5.6. The most important change will target mobile players, allowing them to choose between "Full Resources" and "Basic Resources" after installation. Selecting the basic option will require downloading additional files for Story Quests and Hangout Events. These additional files will be available in the Resources tab of Genshin Impact's Settings menu. The optimization change will also support the auto-installation of completed Archon and Story Quest resources, significantly reducing the overall game size, an increasingly pressing issue, especially for mobile users. While most fans seem excited about this change, others argue that Genshin Impact should implement a similar feature for PC users, pointing out that having two HoYoverse titles, such as Genshin and Zenless Zone Zero, can require up to 170GB of storage.
Genshin Impact Leak Shows Important Quality-of-Life Changes for 5.6
- File size optimization of mobile players in Genshin Impact.
- Intertwined and Acquaint Fates can now be directly purchased with Genesis Crystals.
- Batch deletion of map markers by type.
- The Adventure Handbook will display the daily rotation of Talent and Weapon Domains.
- Adjustments to Imaginarium Theater and Blessing effects.
- Changes to Genius Invokation: Auto Chess mode.
Beyond mobile optimizations, players seem most excited about the new Auto Chess game mode, which has been teased for months. Previous Genshin Impact leaks have indicated that this new mode will feature both PvP and PvE, as well as a complex progression system. While HoYoverse has yet to make any official announcement, players suspect that its design will revolve around Liyue Millennial, a board game invented by Genshin Impact’s Ningguang.
Genshin Impact has introduced similar modes in the past through multiple limited-time events, and player feedback has generally been positive. The main request from fans is for the new Auto Chess mode to remain a permanent feature, just like Genshin Impact’s Genius Invokation TCG, which debuted during the Sumeru arc.

WHERE TO PLAY
Step into Teyvat, a vast world teeming with life and flowing with elemental energy.
You and your sibling arrived here from another world. Separated by an unknown god, stripped of your powers, and cast into a deep slumber, you now awake to a world very different from when you first arrived.
Thus begins your journey across Teyvat to seek answers from The Seven — the gods of each element. Along the way, prepare to explore every inch of this wondrous world, join forces with a diverse range of characters, and unravel the countless mysteries that Teyvat holds...
MASSIVE OPEN WORLD
Climb any mountain, swim across any river, and glide over the world below, taking in the jaw-dropping scenery each step of the way. And if you stop to investigate a wandering Seelie or strange mechanism, who knows what you might discover?
ELEMENTAL COMBAT SYSTEM
Harness the seven elements to unleash elemental reactions. Anemo, Electro, Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, Dendro, and Geo interact in all sorts of ways, and Vision wielders have the power to turn this to their advantage.
Will you vaporize Hydro with Pyro, electro-charge it with Electro, or freeze it with Cryo? Your mastery of the elements will give you the upper hand in battle and exploration.
BEAUTIFUL VISUALS
Feast your eyes on the world around you, with a stunning art style, real-time rendering, and finely tuned character animations delivering you a truly immersive visual experience. Lighting and weather all change naturally over time, bringing every detail of this world to life.
SOOTHING SOUNDTRACK
Let the beautiful sounds of Teyvat draw you in as you explore the expansive world around you. Performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the soundtrack changes seamlessly with the time and gameplay to match the mood.
BUILD YOUR DREAM TEAM
Team up with a diverse cast of characters in Teyvat, each with their own unique personalities, stories, and abilities. Discover your favorite party combinations and level up your characters to help you conquer even the most daunting of enemies and domains.
JOURNEY WITH FRIENDS
Team up with friends across various platforms to trigger more elemental action, tackle tricky boss fights, and conquer challenging domains together to reap rich rewards.
As you stand atop the peaks of Jueyun Karst and take in the rolling clouds and vast terrain stretching out before you, you may wish to stay in Teyvat a little longer... But until you are reunited with your lost sibling, how can you rest? Go forth, Traveler, and begin your adventure!
