In a tweet spotted by GamesRadar, a prominent leaker in the community stated that cross-platform saving will be coming to version Genshim Impact 2.0.
As it stands, you can only share your save files between PC, iOS, and Android, letting you jump into the same game state regardless of those three platforms. However, PlayStation is currently separate, meaning that the same cannot be done for those on Sony's platform. If this rumor pans out, then that'll finally change.

The reason for PlayStation lacking this feature is reportedly because of the way that accounts are created for Genshin Impact on console, using your PSN profile. Some form of linking system could remedy this, but how it will actually come to fruition is currently unclear. Nonetheless, this cross-platform saving feature is also rumored to be coming to the Nintendo Switch port when that finally releases.

The tweet also implies a release window for the Nintendo Switch port which is unknown at the time of writing. Nothing has been said outright from developer MiHoYo. However, Genshin Report's claims would put it releasing at the same time as the rumored 2.0 update.
Reportedly, a live stream will reveal this new update on July 9, although nothing has been officially said by MiHoYo just yet.
Typically, these streams take place two weeks before an update meaning that we could be a little under three weeks away from the Switch release, cross-platform save sharing, and whatever else Genshin Impact's 2.0 update is set to bring. However, this all stems from leakers so temper expectations and take the news with a grain of salt.
Perhaps, if this update does turn out to be genuine, we'll be able to dive from our PlayStation to our phones seamlessly once and for all, perhaps with Bluetooth controller support for Android to boot.
