Genshin Impact 5.2 Update Adds Xbox Support on November 20th

Genshin Impact is the game that keeps on giving! HoYoverse releases version 5.2 of this massive hit game to the world on November 20th. Along with new playable characters and expanded quests, the most significant aspect of the update is that it coincides with Genshin Impact‘s launch on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox Cloud Gaming.

Get a look at what version 5.2 is bringing to Genshin Impact in the new trailer below:

Again, the biggest news regarding this update is the launch on XSX and Xbox Cloud Gaming, and of course fans jumping in on those platforms get a few perks for their patience. Players who log on through Xbox and are at least Adventure Rank 2 receive the “Wings of Fate’s Course Intertwined,” a glider that won’t be available to other platforms until Version 5.3! Furthermore, if you’re a Game Pass Ultimate member, you earn yourself “a recurring bonus.” So if you’ve been waiting for Genshin Impact and you have these platforms, November 20th sounds like the best time to jump in!

But that’s only scratching the surface of version 5.2 “Tapestry of Spirit and Flame.” Here are more features of the new update:

• Two new Saurians: Qucusaurs, capable of long-distance gliding and mid-air dashing, and Iktomisaurs, who can leap vertically and use their special sight to detect hidden mechanics.
• The arrival of new playable characters: Chasca, a five-star Anemo bow wielder with multi-elemental gunshots, and Ororon, a four-star Electro bow wielder with a unique Nightsoul mechanism that interacts with Electro and Hydro teammates.
• Expands the world with two new tribes: the Flower-Feather Clan and the Masters of the Night-Wind, as well as the ancient city ruins of Ochkanatlan.
• Continues the Archon Quest with Chapter V: Interlude, where players help the Flower-Feather Clan recover from Abyssal contamination, with support from Iansan and the Captain.
• Launches a new seasonal event featuring Citlali and Ororon, with the 4-star sword Calamity of Eshu as a reward.
• Adds a new boss: Tenebrous Papilla, who can transform into different enemies, awaiting challengers in the new areas.

You could say we’re big fans, considering we’ve given the game runner-up for the Best Ongoing Game Award three years in a row (sorry, it’s still hard to topple Final Fantasy XIV). And the more people who can play it, the better!
