Conclusion

Just a few weeks ago, miHoYo, the developer, announced the transition of the Vietnamese version of Honkai: Star Rail to 3T as its publisher, and now it's Genshin Impact's turn to do something similar.

Today, on 30/10/2023, miHoYo has officially announced that with the launch of version 4.2 of Genshin Impact, the game will no longer be available on the App Store and Google Play Vietnam. Instead, there will be a new app called Genshin Impact Funtap, which players can download and continue playing with their old accounts as usual.

Timing of Genshin Impact Publisher Transition

Currently, the exact timing has not been announced by miHoYo, but if everything goes according to the usual schedule, it will be at 5 a.m. on 8/11/2023. The Genshin Impact Funtap server will officially open around 10 a.m. on the same day, after maintenance is completed. If you're a PC or PlayStation gamer, this change will not affect you at all.

This transition period will not affect the game's content in any way. miHoYo remains the developer and primary publisher of the game globally, while Funtap serves as a supporting company for publishing in Vietnam in accordance with legal regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Furthermore, miHoYo also provides answers to some questions that players may have, which you can read below:

Q1: Why is app adjustment necessary?

To comply with the regulations for game distribution in Vietnam and to provide better services for players.

Q2: Will app adjustment affect my account and game data?

This adjustment will not affect the data and game accounts of Travelers. Logging into your existing account will allow you to play as usual. We will continue to provide Travelers with the best services and gaming experiences.

Q3: How do I know if I need to change the app?

Whether you need to change the app depends on whether your app store account belongs to the Vietnam region or not.

It can be divided into two cases:

App store account not belonging to the Vietnam region: No need to change packages, you can search for Genshin Impact in the store for normal updates.

App store account belonging to the Vietnam region: Package change required, please search and download Genshin Impact - Funtap in the store.

Q4: How to get the new Vietnamese app Genshin Impact - Funtap?

After updating to version 4.2, searching for the Genshin Impact - Funtap app in the app store will allow you to download and play normally.

miHoYo announced that the Genshin Impact app will no longer be updated in the Vietnam region starting from version 4.2, and advises players to uninstall the old version to avoid taking up too much memory. However, according to Mytour, Android players who download the game through third-party app stores (such as QooApp, Taptap, Galaxy Store, etc.) will not be affected by these changes. You also don't need to reinstall the game - just open the store, find Genshin Impact, and press the update button. This is the method miHoYo used in the recent transition of Honkai: Star Rail to Honkai: Star Rail 3T.
