Genshin Impact Xbox Offline Pop-Up Events Announced

Now that the Genshin Impact Xbox Series X version is confirmed, HoYoVerse announced a series of offline pop-up events to celebrate it. There are three so far, with the first immediately available at gamescom 2024 in Cologne, Germany.

The current event is being held at the Koelnmesse until August 25, 2024. It is part of the regular gamescom affairs this year. Attendees can find the HoYoVerse booth at C031 in Hall 6. If you complete the check-in “missions” to see different parts of the booth, you get souvenir stickers and postcards. The Genshin Impact Xbox Series X version is also apparently present, though the company only said people who attend can “experience” it. There will also be a hidden Slime box based on the enemies from the series.

Unlike the current gamescom pop-up event, the other two upcoming ones aren’t tied to conventions. Both will appear August 31, 2024 through September 1, 2024. One pop-up will be at The Oculus Plaza at Westfield World Trade Center at 185 Greenwich Street in New York City, New York. The other will appear at the Lancaster Place Somerset House in Strand, London WC2R 1LA in the UK. 

The Microsoft Store also features a product listing for the game now. It is free-to-play. However, people can also get a $9.99 pre-order bundle that includes 2 Acquaint Fate, 150,000 Mora, 30 Hero’s Wits, 40 Mystic Enhancement Ores, and 10 Rainbow Macarons.

Genshin Impact is available for the PS4, PS5, PC, and mobile devices, and the Xbox Series X version releases on November 10, 2024.
