A while ago they said they would be releasing Genshin Impact on the Switch, but they never did. It seems they are unable to port it due to technical reasons. That said, I do expect all three games from the Hoyoverse devs (e.g. Genshin, Star Rail and Zoneless Zone Zero) to make their way to Nintendo Switch 2.
Phil told to Hoyo CEO after the Genshin pitch.
Phil & co had first dibs at Genshin Impact, but botched the deal and miHoYo then went to Sony.

Or perhaps they could put themselves out of that misery and move onto any other platforms with proper third-party support and not have to miss out on these things.
I've heard this story many times now. Phil is the best CEO for Sony, no doubt.
It came out this month.
It's a bit late, the game released a week ago. What's the point in a launch trailer now?
Almost all other similar games follow the suit with PS console exclusivity (like ToF, Wuthering Waves, Arknight Endfield, Project Mugen etc)
I wasn't talking just about that. Spiderman was also nearly an MS game until Phil botched it and went to Sony. It's ironic that some of Sony's biggest money-makers were MS deals that fell through.
They announced a switch version of Genshin Impact, but it was never released, probably due to hardware limitations, the game is poorly optimized on ps4 for example.

i am impressed at how this company is building their IPs. Maybe Sony and Mihoyo have bigger plans for the future; bundles, concerts, animes etc... clearly this is a marketing push from Sony to increse it's association with this the game and Mihoyo.
Speak for yourself. I’ll do things quickly on my phone but I wouldn’t even bother playing the game that way. No idea how people enjoy playing games on their phone exclusively. For a quick session when you’re out? Ok I get it. The only way to play a game? No thanks. I legitimately wouldn’t even bother gaming anymore if phones were the only way.
Genshin Impact studio's new action RPG Zenless Zone Zero officially confirmed to be a PlayStation console exclusive
The free-to-play game is out on mobile, PC, and PS5www.gamesradar.com
Shut up and put more money into the Waifu slot machine.
It's official confirmation from Sony that the game is a timed console exclusive. How is that clickbait? It's facts.
Launch trailers are usually produced in order to be easily re-cut into TV commercials, social media and YouTube ads, etc.
It is never Teflon Phil’s faultJay Ong was hired by Marvel in May 2014 and he was the guy Marvel wanted to find a publisher for the game that eventually went to Sony.
"Hired as Marvel's vice president of games in May 2014, Jay Ong's first challenge was to discover why Marvel's box office success hadn't translated to games."
"Being from console first-party in my past, I pinged both sides, both Xbox and PlayStation, and said, "We don't have any big console deals with anyone right now. What would you like to do?" Microsoft's strategy was to focus on their own IP. They passed."

Phil Spencer was promoted to head of Xbox in March 2014.
"Microsoft has announced Phil Spencer is the new Head of Xbox, taking over from the recently departed Marc Whitten, who served as Xbox corporate VP."

Phil Spencer Revealed as New Head of Xbox - IGN
Microsoft has confirmed that Phil Spencer has replaced the recently departed Marc Whitten as Head of Xbox.www.ign.com
So we don't know exactly when Jay Ong went to Microsoft, but Phil Spencer was definitely running Xbox.

Epic store exclusive?
Fuck. Is it?
I think so. I think Genshin and Star Rail are, let me check.
I tried it last night. It's really not anything special. I think you could pick up a $10 copy of Scarlet Nexus and get a better experience personally. Visuals are nice for a f2p game I guess.
Amounts of tits and ass that shouldn't be possible.
It's not. Game has it's own client.
I think it's fine for a F2P game. I've played P2P games with worse combat and feedback than this one, that's for sure.
If you're having fun with it then go for it. Can't beat free. I dont have anything against this game. I think its a bit overhyped personally but what you get for zero money is a polished package that will obviously appeal to anime fans.
I feel like you're talking to walls here my man, since these guys will glance over what you say and conveniently 'forget it' the next time a HoYoVerse thread pops up here on GAF. They'll just repeat the same nonsense.
