During this year's Gamescom Opening Night Live stage presentation, Hoyoverse announced that Genshin Impact will launch for Xbox Series X|S on November 20.

An optional pre-order bundle is available on the Microsoft Store for $9.99, which includes various weapons and enhancement materials. Also, it's worth noting the store page lists a date of November 17, although Hoyoverse's trailer mentions November 20. This might be a deadline to pre-order the bundle for the bonus items, although it's unclear. The store page also states that "Online multiplayer on console requires Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or Xbox Game Pass Core (sold separately)."

The Xbox platform news was shared alongside a new gameplay trailer for the upcoming Natlan nation introduced in version 5.0 set to release on August 28. The new trailer can be found below, alongside details from the Microsoft store page.
