To be fair, it takes multiple hours to be able to unlock the first achievement in Genshin Impact and it's not even story related so compared to other games, the player count should be way waaaay higher. |
Definitely. The game has been holding in the top 40 most played games on Xbox's US rankings since the port released in November, and I suspect it's higher on many other countries' rankings. Alot of the genshin playerbase on all platforms is casual, and casual players don't tend to make TA accounts. It has been estimated by multiple 3rd party trackers that Genshin has 10m+ daily active players across all platforms and regions.
All in all, I think it was a successful port by Mihoyo, and I fully expect them to bring over their other games like Honkai Star Rail and Zenless Zone Zero in the future. Sony's timed exclusivity deal on Honkai still hasn't expired (a Honkai PS trailer from 2 weeks ago had the timed console exclusive text on it), but Zenless was only a 6th month timed console hat by Sony, and 6 months ends tomorrow I believe, so Mihoyo can port it to Xbox whenever they feel like it now.
