Limitation On Genshin Impact’s Xbox Glider Could Be Bypassed
Players Could Take Advantage Of The Game’s Cross-Progression
If players on other platforms miss the opportunity to obtain the special Xbox glider in Version 5.3, there is still a way of bypassing the limitation. However, this involves using an Xbox console. Players from other platforms will need to have access to an Xbox console with the game installed, like one lent by a friend. Then, they should make an Xbox account, connect it to their HoYoverse account, and log into the game on the console.Because of cross-progression, they will likely be able to keep and use their Xbox glider when playingGenshin Impacton their regular platform.
Genshin Impact 5.2’s Leaked NPC May Forever Change The Natlan Story
An important historical figure from Natlan may make a reappearance in Genshin Impact 5.2, according to a leaked character model for the patch.
The Xbox glider does not provide any special gameplay advantage and is strictly cosmetic, much like the PlayStation-themed glider known as Wings of Descension. The new item is composed of two sets of wings with green and white feathers, enveloped by golden adornments. This glider will match characters with green palettes. This includes units such as Alhaitham andNahida inGenshin Impact. Though the Xbox glider should look better on characters such as these, they can be equipped by any other character inGenshin Impact.
