Big news for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers and Genshin Impact fans! Starting with the game’s Version 5.2 update on November 20, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members will get exclusive in-game rewards like Primogems, Intertwined Fates, and more. This is a game-changing development for Genshin Impact players, as the game will finally land on Xbox Series X/S, making it available across all major consoles for the first time.
For years, PlayStation players had the exclusive privilege of receiving special Genshin Impact perks, such as the coveted PlayStation Network Glider. But with the upcoming Xbox release, players on Microsoft’s platform can now enjoy their own set of rewards. During the Genshin Impact 5.2 livestream, developer HoYoverse confirmed that Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers will be able to claim a special “Xbox Member Bundle” starting with Version 5.2. These rewards will be available with every new game update, offering something new for players to look forward to each time a new patch rolls out.
Here’s a look at what Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can claim over the course of the next few updates:
Version 5.2 (Available Nov. 20)
Versions 5.3 – 5.5 (From Dec. Onward)
Version 5.6 and Beyond
The rewards from the Xbox Member Bundle will definitely be a game-changer for players looking to level up their characters quickly. The Virtuous Share Bundle, for instance, will allow players to skip some of the grind of daily farming and easily level up their characters’ talents. Plus, Fragile Resin and Mystic Enhancement Ore will be incredibly useful for Artifact farming and upgrading equipment.
But that’s not all! As part of the celebrations surrounding Genshin Impact’s Xbox launch, all players—regardless of platform—will receive a free Glider between the Version 5.2 and 5.3 updates. This move is reminiscent of Sony’s partnership with Genshin Impact back in 2021, when Horizon’s Aloy joined the game as a PlayStation-exclusive character. However, Aloy didn’t quite meet the mark in terms of strength, so fans are hopeful the Xbox-themed Glider and the Game Pass Bundle will be more satisfying.
November is shaping up to be an exciting month for Genshin Impact fans, not just because of the Xbox launch, but also because of the content coming in Version 5.2. Players can look forward to two new characters, Chasca and Ororon, as well as an expansion of the Natlan map. Plus, there’s a new Archon Quest Interlude focusing on two new characters, Capitano and Iansan. Additionally, Genshin Impact‘s physical trading card game (TCG) is now available for pre-sale in China.
With Version 5.2 launching alongside the Xbox debut on November 20, it’s clear that Genshin Impact is continuing to expand and grow, offering fresh content and exciting new ways for players to engage with the game. Whether you’re a long-time fan or a newcomer, the next few months will be an exciting time to dive into Teyvat’s world.
