If this is your first time linking your Hoyoverse account to your PS5 using a third-party log-in, you may need to grant permission for the necessary information to be shared between platforms. Follow the instructions provided on the screen to complete the process.

Once you've set up a password, you may be required to provide an email address for verification purposes. An email will be sent to the provided address with a verification code. Check your email and enter the verification code on the PS5 screen to proceed with linking your accounts.

Subsection 3.2: Accessing the Hoyoverse Website
