Since then, the open-world RPG has gone from strength to strength.

With multiple updates, and even spawning a viral dance, it's still got plenty in the tank.

And now, after four years, the other half of console owners get to join in.

Genshin Impact is finally coming to Xbox, and the port is coinciding with a pretty big update.

Let's take a closer look!
