Genshin Impact Xbox. In 2025, Genshin Impact on Xbox finally delivers what players like me have been waiting for—full crossplay support across Xbox, PlayStation, PC, and mobile. That means I can jump into domains, weekly bosses, or just roam Teyvat with friends regardless of what device they’re using. The feature isn’t just a convenience; it’s a game-changer that removes platform walls and makes co-op seamless for the entire community.
Crossplay lets me join co-op sessions with friends whether they’re on Xbox, PlayStation, PC, or mobile. It’s not the same as cross-save. Crossplay is about teaming up, while cross-save is about moving progress across platforms. Xbox now supports crossplay, but cross-save is still limited, meaning my Xbox progress stays locked to the console.
Yes, absolutely. Starting from late 2024, Xbox officially joined the crossplay ecosystem. That means in 2025 I can freely:
The one drawback? Progress on Xbox is still isolated—no full cross-save yet.
I had to log in with my HoYoverse account, not just my Xbox Live profile. Without this step, I couldn’t connect with players outside the Xbox ecosystem.
Inside the game, I went to Settings → Account and enabled Allow Crossplay. After restarting the game, the feature was active.
I couldn’t just search usernames; I had to use the nine-digit UID for each friend. Once they accepted, we could instantly play together.
Through experience, here’s what actually made co-op smoother:
Reset the password or double-check credentials. Logging in via HoYoverse is mandatory.
This usually meant a server mismatch. I had to confirm both of us were on the same region.
Switching to a wired connection fixed this for me. Reducing graphics settings also helped.
The only solution is updating the game. Different versions won’t connect.
| Platform | Cross-Save | Performance (2025) |
|---|---|---|
| Xbox | No | Strong (Series X = 60 FPS+) |
| PlayStation | Yes (with PC/Mobile) | Stable FPS, smooth co-op |
| PC | Yes | Varies by specs |
| Mobile | Yes | Device-dependent |
Q: Can I transfer progress from PC to Xbox?
A: No. Xbox progress remains separate.
Q: Do I need Xbox Game Pass for crossplay?
A: Not at all. Genshin Impact is free-to-play, and crossplay is available without Game Pass.
Q: Do graphics look different in crossplay?
A: Yes, visuals scale per device. Xbox Series X looks smoother than mobile, but gameplay stays synced.
Q: Can I crossplay with slow internet?
A: Technically yes, but for smooth co-op, at least 20 Mbps is recommended.
Crossplay on Xbox has completely reshaped my Genshin Impact experience in 2025. I can finally connect with my friends no matter where they play, whether it’s PlayStation, PC, or mobile. Sure, Xbox progress can’t yet move across platforms, but in terms of pure co-op fun, the doors are wide open.
If you’re an Xbox player, now’s the best time to take full advantage of crossplay and explore Teyvat with friends worldwide. Read the latest gaming news on Topup Storm for the latest updates, patch notes, and crossplay tips.
