Hoyoverse has confirmed Xbox players will not need to purchase a Game Pass subscription in order to access Genshin Impact‘s online multiplayer mode.
The confusion began soon after Hoyoverse announced Genshin Impact would be making its way to Xbox Series X/S and Game Pass. Initially, the game’s Xbox store page listing stated: “Online multiplayer on console requires Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or Xbox Game Pass Core (sold separately).”
Those on ResetEra pointed out this is a different approach to other free-to-play games on the platform, such as Fortnite.
