Swarm simulations for fish, soft-body simulations for seaweed, global illumination for cities — Genshin Impact was already one of the best-looking free-to-play games, and Version 4.0 is upping the tech tree with the aqua-charged Fontaine biome.
Oh, and they’re “experimenting with motion-controlled aiming” on PlayStation. No more need to stream to Steam Deck to easily hit things with a bow? Full trailer here.
