HoYoverse’s Genshin Impact is a great game to play on the go thanks to its release on mobile but Nintendo Switch fans have been waiting for news on a port for a long time. Here’s everything we know about when the game could be coming to the hybrid console. 

The gacha game market is massive but Genshin Impact is still one of the most popular titles. The game‘s vibrant world, ever-expanding character roster, and regular content updates have captivated fans worldwide for the past 3 years.

One thing Travelers have been requesting for a long time though is a Nintendo Switch version of the game. Being able to take Teyvat on the go and continue your progress on the big screen when you get home is incredibly convenient after all.

Here’s everything we know about Genshin Impact’s Nintendo Switch release.

Unfortunately, HoYoverse has yet to give an official release date for the Nintendo Switch version of Genshin Impact. However, we do know that it is coming to the portable console. During an interview with GoNintendo, the developers gave the following statement: 

“The Switch version is still in development, and we will release more information as we progress further along.”

For now, it looks like Nintendo fans will have to wait a little longer as the dev team continues to optimize the game for Switch. Whether there will be any special promotional events that run alongside the Switch release remains to be seen, but we expect Nintendo fans will receive the same promotional goodies other platforms obtained.
