A recent leak shared by prominent Genshin Impact leaker Hexenzirkel Leaks is teasing a sizable list of quality-of-life upgrades for Version 5.5. According to the leak, HoYoverse has at least ten different quality-of-life changes planned, including helpful fixes like bulk purchasing decorations in the Serenitea Pot and the ability to exit the game directly to the desktop. Artifacts are also set to see some major helpful changes, with Artifacts created by Sanctifying Elixirs guaranteed at least two upgrades for their chosen substats. Genshin Impact‘s Version 5.5 is currently expected to launch on March 26.

- When the game session turns from single player to multiplayer, the game will automatically exit the rhythm game mode and the Serenitea Pot.
The array of quality-of-life updates coming to Genshin Impact will look to provide plenty of useful benefits for players. The leak mentions the addition of a long-requested “Artifact Overflow” event, providing players with double Artifact drops from Domains for a limited time. The changes will also feature smaller helpful fixes, like automatically exiting players from Genshin Impact’s rhythm mini-game and the Serenitea Pot when switching to multiplayer. The leak even teases a mysterious new in-game death message with “Death by burning under golden light” included.
Genshin Impact‘s newest quality-of-life changes come as part of what looks to be an exciting update for fans. Alongside the previously-mentioned map expansion and Varesa, the update is expected to welcome multiple re-run banners for characters like Xilonen, Xianyun, and Venti.

Fans of Genshin Impact should have plenty in store when Version 5.5 releases in late March.
