However, your game data on the PS4 account can be saved only on PS4. Because you don't use your email to log in to the game on PS4 but you need to use a PSN account. Therefore, your game achievement on this platform won't be synced to play on PC and mobile.

Cross-platform

Although PS4 doesn't have a cross-save feature, this platform lets you play with Genshin Impact players on the two other platforms, such as PC and mobile. Similarly, mobile players can also play with PS4 and PC players.
