Genshin Impact is one of the most popular games on Android, and that goes for the Galaxy S24 series of phones, but performance has been an issue for them since launch. That should no longer be the case following an update this week. If you missed it before or simply didn’t notice, Galaxy S24 users have had issues with performance in Genshin Impact to the point where the game wasn’t running at the proper frame rates.
This was apparently all caused by the Game Booster app. As SamMobile reports, the Game Optimization Service in Samsung’s Game Booster was causing frame rate issues even if the option was disabled. In other words, the throttling was happening either way. But that seems to have been fixed. At least, that’s hopefully the case. Samsung had a similar problem with the Game Optimization Service before with the Galaxy S22 series. At that time, users discovered that Samsung was throttling game performance if temperatures went past a certain point.
Users didn’t like this, so Samsung gave them a way to make the throttling less aggressive. The issue seemed to have returned with the Galaxy S24 series just this week. But Samsung was quick to patch things.
Samsung fixes Genshin Impact performance issues on Galaxy S24 with Game Booster Plus update
Samsung’s Game Booster Plus app should have started receiving an update this week that tackles this problem. SamMobile states that Samsung started rolling out this update already and that it should be available in the Galaxy App Store right now. If you have any of the three Galaxy S24 devices, check to see if the update is available for you and then you should be good.
That being said, this may not be available for all users yet. There’s no mention of the update being available in the US so far. But that doesn’t mean it’s not available. It does seem to be available for users in South Korea. A user on X who discovered the update notes that it contains the Game Booster fix. It seems that the update was pushed out for users in the region on February 22.
With this in mind, keep an eye out for the update to Game Booster in your own region. As it might be rolling out very quickly, if it hasn’t already.
