Cross-platform mobile configurations for Genshin Impact

This relatively high level of mobile configurations for Genshin ImpactThis relatively high level of mobile configurations for the game can be explained by the cross-platforming. The adventure can be played in single player but also in multiplayer (up to 4 players). Alone, the battles are based on a quick switch between the different characters in your team. But with several players, there is no need to switch and everyone can attack head on. This is an opportunity to share an exploration of the various zones and save the world by cooperating with your friends.

For now, mobile players will be able to join PC and PS4 players. The community is expected to grow even more in the future as a Nintendo Switch version is also in development.
