Genshin Impact: Is It On Xbox?


Since its release in September 2020, Genshin Impact has taken the gaming world by storm.

Gneshin Impact has already become a top 50 highest grossing mobile game of all time, generating millions of dollars every day.

Is Genshin Impact On Xbox?

Genshin Impact is currently available on most platforms.

But there is one platform that is notably mission, Xbox.

While speaking to Twinfinite, developers miHoYo stated they have no plans to bring the game to the Xbox platform.

"We have plans regarding next-gen consoles, and we will be announcing them as these plans take shape. We do not currently have plans to release the game on Xbox."

It is unclear why they chose not to release it on the system.

Free to play games thrive on any platform they are released on, the more platforms the better.

At least for now a Xbox port is not happening, but never say never.

Available Platforms

Currently Genshin Impact is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5, PC, iOS, and Android.

The game was released on launch day on PS5 using a backwards compatible version of the PS4 version.

Playstation 5

The Genshin Impact 1.1 update added compatibility for the upcoming Playstation 5 console.

OLD FAVOURITES: Dragonspine will feature regular enemies with changed appearances.

In the post miHoYo let fans know what to expect with the new update:

"Dragonspine is a frozen mountain range in the south of Mondstadt that few dare to set foot in."
"All Travelers will be able to explore a brand-new immersive environment full of new creatures, mysteries, treasures, and dangers to discover. Whether you choose to investigate the area with Mondstadt’s genius alchemist, Albedo during the upcoming seasonal event, explore the mountain for yourself and discover every inch of the mountains and the secrets they hold, or simply hone your survival skills in this beautiful but brutal environment, Dragonspine has something to offer for every intrepid explorer."

miHoYo also hinted at a lost civilization that has managed to survive at Dragonspine for thousands of years, as well as some enemies having altered appearances as they've had to evolve to brave the harsh conditions of Dragonspine.

Players will also have to be mindful of the environment and that they don't freeze while exploring,

"Before focusing on loot and treasures, all Travelers in Dragonspine have to first strive to survive. Besides your HP and Stamina, you will need to pay close attention to Sheer Cold while fighting, exploring, or even just standing still.
The Sheer Cold bar immediately appears above your HP bar once you enter the Dragonspine area. Sheer Cold will go up if you’re exposed to the cold without any heat source, and once the bar is full you will start losing your health. Unless you find some warmth to stave off the Sheer Cold, this will eventually lead to your death."

To combat the harsh conditions, players will need to look for heat sources to warm up, such as torches, cooking points, and Waypoints.
