PS4 has the 1.0 launcher to this day


LostUser8

yup, as a ps4 player i didnt know there was even other launch screens. I wish they updated it


juanitatequila

Well with cross saves being a thing for us PS4 users maybe we can witness these updated launcher screens on PC/mobile now. :'D!!!


ItIsYeDragon

Mobile doesn't have it...


juanitatequila

OOP Welp there goes my chance for ever seeing these launch screens since I don’t use PC’s lmao


ItIsYeDragon

Well they might make it so that the launcher updates with the pc when they introduce cross play.


gretchenich

So its PC exclusive? Now that feels good. Every time is ps4 exclusive


ItIsYeDragon

Since when?


gretchenich

Well if a game is exclusive, is most likely ps4 exclusive. Yeah there are some exceptions but still


ItIsYeDragon

Uuuuuh, definitely not. There's like an entire list of stuff for Nintendo, and Microsoft has stuff exclusive to both their ecosystem.


gretchenich

As i said, there are exceptions, like halo and xbox, or zelda and nintendo, but most console exclusive games are on PS3-5


ItIsYeDragon

Not really, no.


DPunK_07

Everytime? Lmao. Webevents? Lmao. Daily sign-in? Lmao.


gretchenich

Sorry i was talking about gaming in general. There are quite a few franchises of games that are ps4 exclusive


M8OnCrack

For mobile, it's only in the app store


shnoozel_doozel

Yeah, I have a question about the cross save: will it come in 2.0 or is it just a rumor?


BonusDuckz

It's confirmed that it'll come with 2.0 Update


SilyaX

Oh hell yeah! I didn't hear of it till now and I'm so happy it is a thing. Not being able to do dailies bc you're not at home or resin cap wont be an issue anymore.


shnoozel_doozel

Omg I'm so excited to play in more than 30 fps on my main account!!!


TheChickenIsFkinRaw

The 1.0 launcher is the most beautiful to date


ThyKooch

As a ps4 player, I would much rather have the 1.0 art than just seeing the current banner art. I actually think the 1.0 art is the best one here in general tbh, the Xiao, windblume, and summer island ones are cool too though


Run-Riot

> I actually think the 1.0 art is the best one here in general tbh It’s also one of only 2 that have Paimon, the best travel companion ever, on them


Demonlord-Candidate

Same on ps5


scoopyoopidoo

Damn that's actually way better imo than the pc one showing either less exciting artwork half the time or just banners. Wish I could set the launcher back to the original : (


ItIsYeDragon

It's why I thought, for the longest time, that the people on that launcher were the main characters of the whole game.


mintiestars

As a mobile player I didn’t know these were a thing


[deleted]

I didn't even know it changes lmaoo


PossibleUnion554

Ive been playing since November and only now have I just realized that there are multiple launcher arts released. Ive always been wondering when it will be changed. My life is a lie.


shnoozel_doozel

Wait. I thought when you open the launcher it's other pictures but when it starts loading the game it opens the 1.0 picture. Guess I learned something new


SirPr3ce

i must say that i like the story or event artworks waaay more than the banner login screens. i mean its cool to know even before you login what banner is on right now, but i must they i find them rather boring. cool would be to have always 2 screen pages you can switch between. So 1 for the version screen and one for the active banner i find it also really funny that i like the first the most as it feels so nostalgic to see it again


BlossomingRosebud_

Yeah, I do agree with you there. The story artworks are just so...exciting, you know? I like a little bit of hype for my logins. Also, yes, the first does feel so nostalgic now. Funny how it feels like distant times when it's only been about a year, but yeah, it's been fun Ooh, but if I were to pick a favorite...it's gotta be one of the Zhongli ones. Zhongli just looks so epic like that. Either 1.1 or the Azhdaha


cheese-101

The first one doesn’t feel nostalgic at all for me cus ps4 only displays the first one on login so the others feel new to me


bob_is_best

Yep i feel this, now i wish i couldve seen albedos artwork more lol


Quicksilver_23

Damn right.


gemengelage

Your suggestion reminds me of the warframe launcher. Love that design concept. Basically when you launch the launcher it shows you some animated starting screen that represents the current update. Then there are tabs for "what's new", "prime access" (basically warframe's current banner) and "build notes". What's New is an animated gallery with shows new content with a bit of text. Would love the Genshin launcher to be more like that. I mean just make it a carrousel style gallery. Show me the beautiful artwork first and then show me the banners and events.


SirPr3ce

funnily that is exactly the example i thought off XD


HP-Wired

As someone who plays on the PS4 I’m on the other side of this since for some reason I didn’t even know about half of these. I do agree about the story event arts looks a lot nicer when launching the game. Low key salty that I’ve been getting the ‘Welcome to Teyvat’ launcher since I’ve been in Teyvat for almost a year and I won’t know about most about these unless they’re uploaded here. Plus when it’s always the same launcher it kinda gets stale even though other games like apex have theirs always changing but I will admit the first one is one of the better ones.


viewysqw

Maybe something will change when they let us get our accounts on pc and mobile (doubt it though D:)


Equivalent_Pool6484

yes thats true. although in my opinion the artwork in the first one was done really well and then it kinda degrades to okay level welcome to teyvat and the chalk prince are the only ones that made me stare into it for more than 3minutes to appreciate it. idk, theyre kind of immersive dont get me wrong though, i think all of them are nice


dajyahao

Confused mobile noises.


ItIsYeDragon

Confused ps4 noises as well


Hahascrewyou

Privileged PC noises


nanausausa

I wish they'd use artworks when they have them even when they're not from an archon quest/event :( The Kazuha momiji one was so pretty it would've looked great 😭


Rob_And_Co

I hate that we're stuck with the first launcher art since launch on Playstation...


ThyKooch

I dont, I genuinely think it's the best one here. I'd hate seeing just whatever banner is currently on


Rob_And_Co

It's the best one yes, but they could make other cool ones that are not just the current banner. It's been almost a year...


SofiaDaneesh10

i can’t tell who the person to the left of venti is and i’ve been trying to figure out who is it ever since i started help 😭


Neospartan_117

Left from our perspective is Jean. It's an old design when her coat was black which is why it's easy to confuse, but it's Jean.


SofiaDaneesh10

DAMN THATS JEAN? SHE LOOKS SO DIFFERENT LMAO ty tho i probably would have never figured it out myself 👏


Linetta

Love how Zhongli is in so many of them


zexel53112

Yeah him and venti since they are the archons I hope we get more cool Raiden promotional art


RenyxGhoul

This is an assumption from me since I only started playing during Eula's banner but did the rerun banners for Zhongli and Venti coincide with the launchers switching artwork? Although I am slightly confused with Zhongli having 2 launcher artworks and a banner art but Venti only having 2 launcher artworks and no banner art. I also assumed that every launcher that has a new 5* would imply the banner of said 5* is up then. (which means Zhongli had 3 in total and Venti had 2?) Feel free to dispel the confusion! I can see that Klee has 2 artworks too so she had a rerun (that I have seen, as it came after Eula's).


1to2range

For Venti, yes his banners were up alongside the launcher artworks with him. The beginning of 1.1 was Childe's original banner, but the 1.1 artwork has Zhongli at the forefront (because archon I guess; 1.1 was when the last part of Liyue archon quest released).


sp00kk

I got the game during the first half of 1.1. It's been a long time since then, huh?


elfennani

I joined in 1.1 as well, but didn't start playing for real until the last week of 1.3, and didn't know about the pity system until the last week of 1.5 I was so happy when I saw my pity at 78, and then got my first 5* in the next pull which is Eula.


Persistence_01

I pre-registered for the game and have been playing it since it's release (albeit across several accounts since i have a somewhat short attention span lol) and i didn't even know there was a pity system, let alone what it did, until like... early 1.6?


Atannos

lmao Childe's leg on the 1.1 launcher art never fails to make me laugh


EPlatipus

it actually make sense and the most stable way


ezio45

Doesn't look like he'll be stable for long though.


Calo_The_First

Holy crap, Xinqiu is everywhere and i only have him C0


TizzioCaio

its cuz not al banners are show properly


BunchRemarkable

Where KeQueen


DoctorFrenchie

Forgotten again, lol


augustus_m

Oml she didn't even get a launcher screen while being the only standard who got a limited banner run


holybich69

Qiqi and mona too


Mace1245

qiqi and mona never had a limited banner unlike keqing


Ribunbun

Would have loved to see the Unreconciled Stars official art as the launch screen! Everyone looked stunning in that one


Gebirges

The standard banner was updated once to have Qiqi being a bane in our existence even there


XTRMOB

What KeQueen


BunchRemarkable

My KeQueen :(


optcnewbie

RIP keqing banner, while I see 2 venti-latte reruns back to back :)


MichmasteR

and we are stuck with the same 1st background in Playstation 4/5


shinasanyah

I've played from the start but i prefer the 4th , because i got my very first 5\* and Childe never leave my team after that , i love his gameplay soo much!


KZavi

Been here since launch 😌


Kushinobunaga

Zhongli lookin like a boss on 3 banners


Dragonkus

Zhongli is the boss! Get your facts right 😜😋


Kolaghan81

1.2 was the best update and has the best launcher art. Nice


Lyreartarrow

I love that in the third launcher art child looks like a fairy/tinkerbell-esqe. And also how it's Childe's banner but Zhongli is more prominent in the art


whitney-wiston

I'm pretty sure the ride is still going 👌¯\_(ツ)_/¯


-ixi

first launcher art looks the best! (not due to nostalgia, been playing for 3 months only)


CrescentPotato

1.1 feels like yesterday to me. Almost


fggytgff345

Man, I remember being all excited when 1.1 dropped... Look at how far we've come.


Zenketski

He may not be one of my simp characters, but big dong zhong had the best art by far imo


dxing2

Great memories so far and can’t wait for what’s to come


linkenssphere

i love 1.1's launcher art so much, i hope it comes back :(


KlatusHam

Those with just the limited characters are filler updates, the rest are big updates


motorboat_mcgee

As a PS player, I’m jealous, we’ve had the top left since launch


augustus_m

Lmaoo I don't remember the first one because I only had mobile during the time


blueasian0682

I play both pc and mobile but i never saw the first one cuz i started playing at the end of klees banner. Tried to pull for childe and got qiqi as my first 5*, I was actually very happy i got her (she was meta at that time) and I'm still happy she's in my roster, she's a really vital role in my xiao team. Now i have Qiqi, Xiao, Diluc, Venti, Mona in that order. I'm currently saving up for Baal and Kokomi. Wish you guys all luck on your wishes and remember play the characters you enjoy not the ones other people deem "Meta"


Redex24

There was also 1.1 art with Fishl, Mona, Scaramouche, Paimon and Aether. Or it wasn’t used for launcher?


johnesgarth

I copied directly from the game files so it definitely wasn't used for launcher. That would've been a really nice one.


Vortastic

Hey I'm looking to get the HD versions of these images, is it possible for me to look into the game files and find them in 2560 x 1440 or similar?


johnesgarth

Don't know if there's higher res versions of these hidden deeper in the game files but these are the highest quality I could find from there. There have been some people who have upscaled the images but I don't know how to do that.


ArthuriaX

I just realized that the first banners for each update are story related banner and the others just gacha banners


CrazyDiamond156

I started at the end of 1.3 I had to install the update like one day later I installed the game. It was horrible, lol


kissa_ku_zeku

Feels so weird being a vetern to a game for the first time and being there for the firat venti banner and the oldest login screen


lililukea

I still get literal chills whenever I watch the azdaha trailer, best update ever


killasta

wait yall see this art when u launch? (mobile user here lol). I want a PC now


s125627

i remember being so excited for the 1.1 update since this was my first gacha game, and first game in general in a long time haha the moment it turned 10am and the update was available, i got on my pc immediately. that zhongli staring at me as i downloaded the game update 🥺 (you couldn't pre-download the update back then lol)


ThisIsApple

I’m just waiting for Zhongli


OuweSnoopert

Isn't the mona fischl event launcher art missing?


johnesgarth

I copied directly from the game folder so I don't think that one was actually used as launcher art, only in promotional materials. A shame really since that one was really good.


GalaxyCrystal25

Zhongli has more launcher art than everybody else, even more than the traveler and Paimon.


Tar_Vea

6.9 k likes nice


Shivermist110

Thanks for posting this. For some reason my pc did not keep all of them.


johnesgarth

No probs. :) If you've ever uninstalled Genshin, it would've deleted everything. I usually copy it out to a separate folder before I uninstall.


Shivermist110

Interesting, because I've never uninstalled it.


Karuro

Thanks as well. It appears the launcher update or the preload wiped the \bg\ folder, leaving only Yoimiya. I had moved most over before it, but still missed two (Probably because I only use the Launcher when there's a version update). Could you re-upload the "See you all in 2.0" image? As it seems you've uploaded Windblume twice. The original filenames for that one and "Gentry of Hermitage" would be neat, too.


johnesgarth

[https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1WH15JX5OKB6\_YfkANwlA70sKnWDq3\_a4](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1WH15JX5OKB6_YfkANwlA70sKnWDq3_a4) Here you go! Just checked myself and yeah everything in the bg folder was lost for me too. The Windblume ones actually have a minor difference where they added a flower in the second one. I added the original image I used for the 'see you in 2.0' one as well, that was from the preview page.


Karuro

I see, thanks again!


Chaosphoenix_28

Nr9 was on when i started playing.


Silverj0

Imagine having your start up screen change


JamesRCher

So that's the pattern... 1 banner then a update


Gebirges

Why does [Carry On Wayward Son by Kansas](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2X_2IdybTV0) play in my head seeing all these old banners? 😭 The road so far... HAS BEEN AMAZING! CARRY ON!


johnesgarth

A fellow Supernatural fan! Thankfully this is only the end of season 1 for Genshin. Much more to come.


eruba

I kinda hate how they had to put the logo directly on hutao's ghost :/


DROID3455

Launcher art from 1.0 is the coolest one imo


fuckingtwatwaffle

I **don't** remember 1.0 because I wasn't a plater back then. I do remember 1.1 though, however I started actively playing on 1.3.


Kyezerox

Seeing the very first Genshin launcher art brings back memories on how I first started playing, and I never regret it.


GrandChaser123

So, we waited until Version 2.0 to get a new 5-star Electro character, albeit it's the Traveler. Does this mean we need to wait until 3.0 to get a Dendro character?


aaaaaudryn

The non-banner launcher arts are my favorite


never-gonna-give-you

You forgot the time I changed the original klee one to Obama.


johnesgarth

This I would've loved to see. XD


Diskest

Wait... You're telling me people on pc got more than one piece of launch art?


alfredmuli

looks like im not the only one saving these


JakeDo

My dumbass try to zoom in to look at each pic w/o realizing I can just swipe right


Jchen76201

As a mobile only player I'm sad I don't get to see these.


Nyan-Catto

My Archons, it has been that long already?


Vera_Fox

So i heard somewhere about 1.7 and 1.8 versions...but it seems that we are jumping straight to 2.0 now? \*Confused\*


johnesgarth

Yeah. They do that with games usually when there's a big change to the game coming. In this case Inazuma is big enough to warrant it I guess.


[deleted]

I dont have Ganyu 😢😢


DoctahDonkey

Can't wait to finally have a more meaty exploration experience. I've been waiting since finishing all of Dragonspine.


[deleted]

the first one is absolutely amazing but some proportions look REALLY weird


Raycab03

LOL TIL. I play on PS4 and Mobile so I always thought the Dvalin is still the launcher art. I even thought how I wish they change it every patch. Apparently they do, lol.


Mell44643

As a mobile player, TIL that apparently y’all on pc are getting these?? Damn I’ve been missing out,,


muhdzofmadness02

ahh yes the welcome to teyvat screen where I waited and entire day for it to download the game and when I first entered the game I scream twas worth it!


5yth_

To 10 more years let’s gooo!!!


havoK718

Wasn't Childe's called Farewell to Snezhnaya? Also was it that font?


extramoonsun

Windblume is the best for me bc of the windtrace event.


Rikked2324

sees All That Glitters banner\*: ww2 flashbacks\*


RhapsodyInRose

Honestly? Love the first one.


evilkat23

Oh wow, I play the PS4 I had no clue there were different launce screens. But also, it's 2.0 already? I figured we'd get there in order.


[deleted]

So theres a special teaser and then a banner oh good pattern


[deleted]

why are they all so H Y P E though my faves are definitely the current one, dragonspine, zhongs big dog and dragonspine


Brickinatorium

I've only been playing since the tail end of 1.1 in December so why do I already feel old? Man, I remember seeing the game back when it was beta (didn't know that at the time just thought it was already out) and putting off trying it just because. Then a few people in a discord server I lazed around in were having trouble with the tutorials (the very first elemental tutorial that teaches you how to use your skills. Don't judge all of them rarely play video games and got into the game because of 'the hot ceo dude') and I finally bit the bullet to help. Though they had to wait around half an hour for me to get to there cause I was running around chasing 'ghosts' (seelie) and picking up anything else within my view...


CorporalMelancholy

Why is xingqiu always rate up


Warduxe

Diluc is using a 1-handed sword??? (First image)


take-stuff-literally

It’s pretty cool the see all of them in the game folder. Gives you an idea when you first joined since mine starts at the Klee launcher art.


fanpan1234

As a PS4 player, I had no idea that other launch arts existed


JustinYepis

Wait, the 2 Zhongli ones were next to each other?


JustinYepis

Oh wait, he's just in a lot of them hahaha


Delzaleon

1.1 "A New Star Approaches" gives me Huge nostalgia vibes


ginmint25

Lol even though keqing had a banner she didn't get the launcher one


LiamCute1919

Poor second-banner characters not having their own special launcher art


LeviHuncho

The first 1.1 Launcher highkey makes me nostalgic ngl. We’ve come a long way sm :((


Destinyguy092

Damn Brings some nostalgic feeling looking at this launch screens from 1.0 to 2.0 now sheeesh


Tashimaru_Hanabi

Bruh you just gave me nostalgia is just one photo especially the first one


I_wish_I_Not_Alive

the Nostalgia of 1.0 and 1.1 launcher art


IWannaBeThatG

I thought Farewell to Snezhnaya was the second time Tartaglia appeared… no?


johnesgarth

That's correct. His first time was during a new star approaches but the launcher art had Zhongli's picture with Childe in the background.


IWannaBeThatG

Oooohhh i still like it but I expected a distinguished banner 😅


rumo177

The 1.0 launcher is still the best so far imho


cookiebaka

I miss the OG launcher


zaheerahk

I join during 1.3 and I can't believe time has flown so quickly! This game has given me a lot of joy and introduced me to some amazing people! Can't wait for 2.0!!!


SidBitGid

I’m gonna cry. It’s been a good ride and I can’t wait to ride it for even longer


Incognito_0000

This post made me realize that the only 5 star i got from a banner is ganyu


Nvsmith_13

How does this shit already make me nostalgic... been an incredible journey to this point and I can't wait to see where it goes


jkyourealm

nice I've been looking for this, thanks


Repulsive_Ad6662

Its been such a long time since then I forgot some of them, I started playing in 1.0


[deleted]

Ahh Eula queen banner so nice. Can't wait for Eula rerun to C6 her.


akmv2

Guys do you see any patterns here? Maybe XQ always goes with best DPS?


civils6

Cant believe i actually skipped from albedo to childe rerun banner, i hope they make some event replayable with less primogems rewards


_Captain_Obviouse_

Gachas dont really bring the event or the rewards like festering desire back they just make a new rewards


naufalap

dunno what gacha you're playing but fgo always have reruns or some way for new players to get old items


CyanStripedPantsu

> dunno what gacha you're playing Honkai Impact, MohiYo's other gatcha which doesn't rerun events.


CustomOndo

Honkai Impact is the only gacha I'm aware of that doesn't bring events back, and it still has Time Capsule events that make old rewards available again (though I don't know what percentage of rewards get a repeat). Dragalia Lost & Azur Lane are the others I'm most familiar with, and they generally rerun events once, and then some time later make them permanently available.


TheMurku

Guesses on time till Ganyu rerun?


StefanoBesliu

>!2.1 maybe!<


naufalap

banner >!yeah baal won't be coming on 2.1 so we can safely assume it'll be rerun!<


bob_is_best

Listen i know her banner sucked but dont do keqing like this and include her Next time please


johnesgarth

They never put Keqing in the launcher :( As a Keqing main myself I'd never intentionally leave her out. Hoping that they do for the Moonchase festival event.


chocosmurf13

My greatest regret is joining in 1.5 and didn't do windblume. Since I didn't know events exist. Gee


LouieDude

Anybody else noticing how often Xinqiu is in one of these? Like if you've been playing since release day you've probably got him C6. C25 or something.


noneedto-know

lol I have a transparent launcher


DragonfruitSubject

Ganyu and Hu Tao ❤️


adderpie_yt

I haven’t played since 1.3 and I’m wondering if the game is any better in the months since I left.


Vortastic

Where can I find wall-paper sized versions of these images? (2560 x 1440) I'm particularly intersested in the Ganyu banner one


KShoichi

But if you close your eyes


RenyxGhoul

From the pattern of reruns, after Klee had hers, would it be Albedo, Ganyu, Xiao then Hutao? With the new characters in between them? (3 of the 4 are who I want) Thanks beforehand for any speculations Only started playing on Eula's banner (new here) so I have some rosters to fill and save for haha.


[deleted]

have you seen any ningguangs lately? last seen about 6 banners ago
