Action RPG Genshin Impact has gained a lot of popularity since its release in September 2020. While the game is available on almost every gaming platform globally, a few exceptions exist.

The free-to-play game Genshin Impact is famous worldwide for its massive open world and arsenal of playable characters. All these things are provided in a live-service manner so that both premium and free players can enjoy it the same. Additionally, it gives a four-player multiplayer experience, another positive trait of the game.

While the game supports cross-platform progression, there are questions about whether it is available on Xbox. To clarify these doubts, we have penned this article with all the necessary details you should know.

No, you cannot play Genshin Impact on Xbox, as miHoYo hasn’t released a version for the console. However, the game is available across other platforms like PlayStation, PC, iOS, and Android. Additionally, it is reported a Nintendo Switch version is also under development and will likely release in 2023.

Even three successful years after its release, an Xbox version of the game hasn’t been released yet. Moreover, miHoYo hasn’t shared any information surrounding its development over the years. The reason for this and when it can release is unknown.

However, there is no reason to lose hope as Nintendo Switch also hasn’t gotten its version of Genshin Impact. So there are chances miHoYo might work on bringing the title to Xbox once they are done with developing the Switch version.

With all that said, the only option that remains for Xbox users is to use their mobile devices or other supported platforms to play the game. Additionally, it is impossible to install Windows on Xbox, even though Microsoft creates it. So, the answer remains a no for players who wish to play Genshin Impact on Xbox.

We hope to have answered your doubts about Genshin Impact’s availability on Xbox. If you liked this article, check similar content by clicking here.
