Moreover, there were numerous events, quests, and more to enjoy from the action RPG, and it is has become popular for its character-switching and gacha-based system.
Genshin Impact debuted on various platforms like the Windows PC, PlayStation 4, iOS, and Android, with miHoYo offering crossplay and cross-progression. Now, Xbox owners are given the chance to explore the open world of Teyvat with their characters, which players can experience once the game is released in late November for the Xbox Series S and X and other eligible devices via Xbox Cloud Gaming.
