It took four years since Genshin Impact blasted onto PC, PlayStation, and mobile devices for it to finally reach base with Xbox Series X|S. Coming hot on the heels is the huge 5.2 update, "Tapestry of Spirit and Flame," promising exciting new content for both seasoned players and new ones joining in. This update will change the game with fresh regions, characters, and gameplay improvements.

The launch on Xbox means console players can finally be introduced to the world of Teyvat, but the depth inherent to a 5.2 update makes it the perfect juncture for whoever dives deep into or revisits the game.
