Genshin Impact Multiplayer Guide - How to Play with Friends

How to unlock multiplayer in Genshin Impact

Multiplayer is unlocked upon reaching Adventure Rank 16. It will take a few hours of solo play, so don't expect to play with friends right off the bat. Once you have reached the required level, you will be able to play online with other players.

Don't confuse adventure rank with character level. Your character levels will increase quite quickly and are unique to each character, while the adventure rank is tied to your account. You can check your current adventure rank in the menu next to the world level and your character's name and birthday. You can increase it just by playing and completing quests. It is recommended that you focus on the main storyline during the early parts of the game, as these quests will unlock new mechanics and items that you can use on your journey.

How to play Genshin Impact with friends

Once you've unlocked multiplayer, you can invite up to three friends to your world. To invite your friends to Genshin Impact, open the menu and select friends. From here you can invite other players to your session. You will automatically see one of your friends online on the same platform as you, but you will have to manually add friends playing on other devices using their UID number located in the lower right corner of the screen.

Everyone you invite will need to be Adventure Rank 16 to play multiplayer, and there are restrictions on what you can do when playing online. First of all, only a maximum of four players can play together at a time. Additionally, you cannot complete any main quests while playing co-op. When you join someone's game, you cannot open chests, collect certain items, or make offerings to the Statues of Seven. Keep these restrictions in mind when playing with friends.

Does Genshin Impact have cross play?

Genshin Impact offers cross play on all platforms. PC, PS4, iOS, and Android users can all party and explore the world of gaming together. Friends on other devices can be added to your Friends list using their UID numbers found in the lower right corner of the screen. The Nintendo Switch version of Genshin Impact will likely be able to play with other devices when it launches at a later date.

Genshin Impact multiplayer does not work

If Genshin Impact's online multiplayer isn't working for you, there are a few things you can try. First of all, make sure you have fulfilled all the necessary requirements to play online. You must be at Adventure Rank 16 before you can play with friends. Make sure your friends meet this requirement as well, as they cannot join you if they are not at Rank 16 in the Adventure. If you still can't get into the same session, try having another player to lead the session. Someone's poor connection can be the root of the problem. Finally, if the problem persists, you will have to wait for an update or patch that fixes the issues online. Follow Genshin Impact on Twitter for updates.
