Genshin Impact v2.2 enables fluid gameplay for iPhones at 120fps

Along with the new Genshin Impact v2.2 update, selective Apple devices including iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPad Pro (2nd generation and later) will support gameplay at 120fps. As mentioned the feature is only available for Apple devices that come with a ProMotion display which supports refresh rates up to 120fps for system animations and third-party applications. Playing Genshin Impact with 120Hz will improve the player's input response time and increase visual details.
