### Exclusive Rewards for Xbox Players

To commemorate the launch on Xbox, HoYoverse is providing a range of in-game rewards for players who log in and commence their journey. These rewards will refresh with every major version update, starting with Version 5.2. Here’s what you can anticipate receiving upon your first login:

– **Intertwined Fate × 2** (necessary for special character and weapon wishes)
– **Northlander Billet Trove × 1** (a precious crafting resource)
– **Hero’s Wit × 10** (experience points for leveling up characters)
– **Mora × 100,000** (the in-game currency)

Furthermore, players reaching Adventure Rank 2 will be granted the *Wings of Fate’s Course Intertwined*, a unique glider sent directly to their in-game inbox.

## Cross-Platform Progression: Resume from Where You Stopped

One of the most exciting aspects of *Genshin Impact* is its cross-platform progression feature. If you’ve already begun your quest on another platform, like PC, PlayStation, or mobile, linking your account allows you to seamlessly continue your adventure on Xbox without losing any progress.

### Steps to Link Your Account

To connect your existing *Genshin Impact* account to your Xbox, follow these steps:

1. **Log in to the game on Xbox.**
2. A prompt will appear, requesting you to connect your HoYoverse account.
3. Input the email associated with your HoYoverse account and adhere to the on-screen directions.

**Important Reminder:** This prompt appears only once. If you fail to link your account during your initial login, you won’t be able to connect your Microsoft Account later. An automatic new HoYoverse account will be set up, and your progress on other platforms will not be retrievable.

For newcomers initiating their journey on Xbox, you can link your Microsoft Account by navigating to **Settings > Account > User Center > Link Account**. Ensure that you utilize an email that is not already registered to a HoYoverse account if Xbox is your first platform.

## Xbox Cloud Gaming: Play Everywhere, Anytime

Xbox users can also take advantage of Xbox Cloud Gaming to experience *Genshin Impact* without downloading the game. This feature enables you to kick-start your adventure on an Xbox Series X or Series S and subsequently continue on a portable device, like a smartphone or tablet, without interruption.

Cloud gaming provides flexibility for players wishing to enjoy *Genshin Impact* while on the move, making it simpler than ever to explore the vast land of Teyvat from virtually anywhere.

## What’s in Store for Genshin Impact on Xbox?

With the successful rollout of *Genshin Impact* on Xbox, HoYoverse has paved the way for exciting opportunities for the game’s future. Xbox players can look forward to receiving the same regular updates as other platforms.
