Good luck weebs.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Chucks iPhone in the trash, It's not needed anymore.

 

[adamsapple]

I think this was supposed to be a surprise announcement in the on-going Keighley stream.

Some intern got a little overzealous and published the page beforehand.

Surprised it's not on Xbox One.

 

[splattered]

WTF... i am scared to try this. Don't like p2w stuff haven't bothered with it on mobile or PS systems up to this point.

Your title is wrong though. It's coming on Nov 18 (or 17 depending on your region).

Surprise motherfuckers.

Hmm i only see a $9.99 option in my store. I have GPU but doesn't mention Gamepass.

Also... goddammit all those twitch Genshin bonus items i could have been redeeming for forever now that i never bothered to get. Oh well.

Looks like it was updated after the picture in OP.

At first it said available now. Now it has the pre-order message.

 

[Stafford]

Oh I've been hoping for this. I'll definitely check it out. But it seems it's on Game Pass, isn't this game free anyway?

Wait, it's not playable now then?

Yeah, I noticed that as well, that's why I lost like 30 more sec taking another screenshot with the release date, lol, and then rewording the thread title, too. XD

Online multiplayer on console requires Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or Xbox Game Pass Core (sold separately).

Seems like you need Game Pass? It just says "Not available separately".
Edit: Maybe it will change in November.

It's not p2w since it is pve only and the multiplayer is just an extra.

If you like exploration and the combat style, it is a great game.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Wait, it's not playable now then?

Nope. The game launches on Nov 17.

 

[Mr Moose]

Why the fuck is it $10?
Edit: Oh:

Extra items.

 

[Darsxx82]

It took a while but it has arrived. I suppose it's a start for future gatcha games to also arrive, perhaps even day one with other platforms.

 

[Mr Moose]

Extra items.

They aren't worth it. 2 wishes for $10, fucking joke.

- Will be cross-play compatible with other platforms

 

[LordCBH]

Surprised it's not on Xbox One.

I’m not tbh. The PS4 struggles with it and I wonder how much worse it’s going to be when the new region arrives soon.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Looks like the marketing campaign has kicked in. There's adverts in London and in Times Square.

 

[NanaMiku]

Ah yes, reminded me of this trailer

 

[Felessan]

Xbox really desperate here
Grabbed whatever it could and even paid for marketing
It'll be 4 year old project that already "not a priority"

 

[adamsapple]

And if there was still any confusion, no the game does not need GP or Core to play.

But you will get benefits if you have it.

HoyoVerse gave us some details on how 'Genshin Impact' will work with Xbox Game Pass, as well as Xbox Cloud Gaming

You won't need Xbox Game Pass Core (Xbox Live Gold) to play, and the game is exclusively on Xbox Series X|S, but Xbox One players can access it via the Cloud.

You won't need Xbox Game Pass Core (Xbox Live Gold) to play, and the game is exclusively on Xbox Series X|S, but Xbox One players can access it via the Cloud.

• "Genshin Impact" is a wildly popular action RPG game in the gatcha subgenre, and it's heading to Xbox Series X|S on November 20, 2024.
• The game has been exclusive to PlayStation, Windows PC, and mobile devices up until now, but developer HoyoVerse is partnering up with Xbox Game Pass to sweeten the deal.
• Revealed to us directly, HoyoVerse says that Genshin Impact will yield in-game bundles day one for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers, as well as in subsequent version updates (think similar to seasons.)
• It will not require Xbox Game Pass Core (Xbox Live Gold) to play on Xbox Series X|S, as it is a free-to-play title.
• The game isn't coming to Xbox One sadly, but it will be available there via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate via Xbox Cloud Gaming.
