Genshin Impact is set to receive several exciting quality-of-life enhancements in Version 5.8, with one of the most anticipated features being the automatic adjustment of Teyvat's in-game clock to match active quest requirements. Over the years, HoYoverse has consistently improved player experience through various updates, but the Fontaine era marked a significant acceleration in these improvements. Recent notable changes include an increased Original Resin cap, reduced Fate Points requirement on the Weapon Banner, and the introduction of Artifact Loadouts.

Although the Artifact Loadout system still requires refinement, its implementation demonstrates HoYoverse's commitment to streamlining gameplay mechanics. This philosophy extends to Version 5.7's Dust of Enlightenment feature, which allows players to optimize Artifact stats or give underperforming Artifacts a second chance through stat rerolls.

Leaks from Hexenzirkel suggest that Version 5.8 will introduce an innovative clock adjustment feature. By simply pressing the tracking button for an active quest, the game will automatically set the in-game clock to the required time, eliminating the tedious manual time adjustments currently needed for many quests. Additionally, PlayStation players will enjoy platform-unlocked Battle Pass rewards, a long-requested feature by the community.

Another intriguing update allows players to adjust audio settings during cutscenes, including the ability to change language settings on the fly. Version 5.8 will also introduce optimizations for Local Specialties collection and implement technical improvements for mobile players, such as pausing background animations during update downloads or shader optimization processes.

While these updates address many player concerns, the community continues to hope for additional improvements like a weekly Original Resin reserve beyond the current 200 limit and unrestricted access to Talent and Weapon Domains. Version 5.8 is scheduled for release on July 30, 2025, promising to deliver these quality-of-life enhancements to players worldwide.
