Why Is Genshin Impact Not on Xbox?
Last updated
Have you ever wondered why you can’t find Genshin Impact on your Xbox console? You’re not alone! This question pops up quite a bit among gamers. Let’s dive into the reasons behind this.
So, why exactly isn’t Genshin Impact available on Xbox? That’s what we’re here to explore.
Short Form Answer: Platform Choices and Strategy
Genshin Impact’s absence from the Xbox lineup boils down to the developer’s platform choices and strategy. When miHoYo released Genshin Impact, they targeted specific platforms that aligned with their audience and marketing strategies.
These platforms included Android, iOS, PlayStation 4, Microsoft Windows, and later, PlayStation 5. Choosing these platforms helped miHoYo reach a vast audience quickly, considering the game’s popularity in regions like China, Japan, and the United States, where mobile and PlayStation gaming is huge. Xbox, at the time of release, might not have matched their targeted demographic or strategic plans.
