will i lose my account on jun 30

they posted on social media that you need to link your account but playing on steam that isnt an option does that mean ill lose my account

Those that are using the old MiHoYo account numbers are expiring because they've moved the server from China to Singapore and will retire the old login system to the new Hoyoverse account numbers. After "linking", player's in-game account number will changed from MiHoYo to Hoyoverse version (longer).

For steam users, when you started the game here they've already created your account using the Hoyoverse account numbers. So you are technically already "linked" to Hoyoverse, just not able to login to their website using your steam account, well, until they've implement the steam open ID login to their website. You have nothing to worry about the expiry date of MiHoYo old account because Steam is up to date.

Should I worry about my Genshin account or are those already the newer type? I haven't seen on heard anything about this account linking for either game before I saw this thread.

As far as i know, their current goal is to shrink down the login procedure from multiple accounts to one Hoyoverse account. All they said is they will retired all 3rd party login that's not linked to Hoyoverse. If your Genshin is linked to Hoyoverse and you are using hoyoverse to login the game, you will be fine. If you are one of their older players that uses miHoYo account to login, then yes, you should link up or be in trouble. And that including PSN players that automatically got their account made as miHoYo account back then. These players will require to link their game/mihoyo account to Hoyoverse to change their login account from mihoyo to hoyoverse. Note that, PSN player is able to link their account to hoyoverse because theirs are mihoyo account. But Steam players can not link their account to another hoyoverse account because Steam's version is already created under a Hoyoverse account. It's the same problem as how the past PSN player can not link their account to mihoyo because theirs are already a mihoyo account.

Putting it simple, if you are using mihoyo account to log in Genshin, you need to change that to hoyoverse, if you are older generation of the PSN players which gets their game account created under mihoyo account, they need to link to hoyoverse as well.

miHoYo is no longer the publisher of these games, the ip ownership nows belongs to hoyoverse (AKA Cognosphere), and the new servers are in Singapore. They will be retiring the old servers in China today so to speak. And hopefully, by doing so, we can finally get out of the buggy profile bug situation with their current mess.

once i update the game i lost my account

[LaeLena]

Oh wow.. I can't believe they never sent an email about something as important as this.. I guess my Genshin account will be gone before I can change it.

Why in the world they dont announce this on ingame, where people PLAY the game so they would know

[Meowish]

Mainly because Genshin is fairly new, and most new players created their account under the Hoyoverse system. Hoyoverse went live in 2021, so it's actually more than half a year preparation time.

And actually they didn't simply delete your accounts. You can still retrieve them:

They did announce it in-game. Multiple times. Over the course of 6 months. And even had a event giving away crystals to promote and encourage people to link it.

It's a mobile game after all, I've been away from honkai for at least since Mei arc, I saved my account just for logging in and reading the announcement some random day, mihoyo should post a big picture once u start the game telling about the account change, just like those "special prices" banners

They over the course of months they had multiple notices and announcements about the upcoming hoyoverse account change over in those very same announcements you claimed to read. Also they Crystal Incentive thing was a whole page in the events tab. You have no one to blame but yourself.
