In a wait almost rivalling its inevitable appearance on Nintendo Switch, Genshin Impact has finally arrived on Xbox Series X and S.
You can download it for free, or grab it via Game Pass to get a free in-game bundle, as well as future rewards. We’ve had a look through the Game Pass Ultimate Perks section, and sadly can’t see anything you can redeem right now.

Free Wings!
However, the true highlight is the free ‘Wings of Fate’s Course Intertwined’. You can get this by downloading the game and logging in on Xbox during the launch period.
For those unaware, this is a free Xbox-themed Wind Glider that you can’t get any other way. So, even if you play Genshin Impact on another device, it still makes sense to grab the free Xbox version to get it.
Xbox Adventurer’s Bundle Will Help You Catch Up
If you’re willing to splash a bit of cash to help you get started, there’s also the Xbox Adventurer’s Bundle. This will set you back around $10/£10, and provides:
- Two Acquaint Fate
- 150,000 Mora
- 15 Hero’s Wit
- 20 Mystic Enhancement Ore
- 10 Rainbow Macarons
Aside from that, all of the other items in the Xbox store are what you’d expect to see. That incldues Genesis Crystal bundles and the Blessing of the Welkin Moon subscription.

Tapestry of Spirit and Flame Has Just Arrived
Now is a great time to get stuck into Genshin Impact too, as the Tapestry of Spirit and Flame update just arrived. This is version 5.2, and it introduces three new areas to the already massive map.
This includes Tezcatepetonco Range, Quahuacan Cliff, and Ochkanatlan. Here, you can continue the story and gain reputation with the Flower-Feather Clan and Masters of the Night-Wind.
There’s even a brand new character to chase after, the five star Chasca. This is an Anemo type who fights with a bow.
