Genshin Impact players get 1,600 Primogems for free thanks to a rare bug fix rollback after update 4.8 made the game's best DPS character feel worse to play

Genshin Impact Neuvillette.

Genshin Impact is rolling back a bug fix for top-tier DPS character Neuvillette after the fix ended up making the Hydro powerhouse feel clunky, and players are getting 1,600 Primogems for free to compensate. 

There's a lot to dig into here, but the free 10-pull is the headliner. With the recent release of update 4.8, Genshin Impact targeted what developer HoYoverse describes as a "bug" – but players called a feature – which allowed Neuvillette's unique charged attack to pummel entire arenas of enemies if you spun your camera around as fast as possible. PC players could easily manage this with a mouse, but it was feasible on most platforms with adjusted input sensitivity. HoYoverse says this spin was never intended, so update 4.8 slowed Neuvillette's turning speed, so to speak, and players got 100 Primogems as compensation for the bug.
