Yes, you read it right. Despite the massive surge in popularity, Genshin Impact is still not available on Xbox and Nintendo Switch. It is no surprise that fans are desperately waiting for the action RPG on these platforms.
Genshin Impact is heavily based on Legend of Zelda but it offers a lot more than that. Considering that Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is one of the biggest games in the history of Nintendo Switch, the anguish of the fans is understandable.
HoYoverseWhen is Genshin Impact coming to Xbox and Nintendo Switch?
Genshin Impact was supposed to come out on Nintendo Switch in September 2020. Surprisingly, the developers announced this in January 2020 which was months ahead of launch.
Regardless, due to development issues, miHoYo’s action RPG is yet to be available on Nintendo Switch consoles. Moreover, the developers have maintained silence on the matter for a long time. Accordingly, fans should not expect Genshin Impact on Nintendo Switch anytime soon.
The case for Genshin Impact on Xbox consoles is even worse. miHoYo has never talked about it and from the looks of it, they will begin working on an Xbox version only after the Switch version goes live (if it ever does).
Genshin Impact is available on many platforms and supports crossplay. If you’re someone who’s fond of games that support crossplay, check out our coverage of Fortnite, Apex Legends, Warzone, and Brawlhalla.
