How to Unlock Multiplayer in Genshin Impact
Multiplayer is unlocked upon reaching Adventure Rank 16. This will take a few hours of solo play, so don’t expect to play with friends right from the get-go. Once you reach the required level, you will be able to play online with other players.
How to Play Genshin Impact With Friends
Once you have unlocked multiplayer, you can invite up to three friends to your world. To invite your friends in Genshin Impact, open the menu and select Friends. From there, you can invite other players to your session. You’ll automatically see any 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 found in the bottom right corner of the screen.
Everyone you invite will have to be Adventure Rank 16 in order to play multiplayer, and there are restrictions on what you can do when playing online. First off, only a maximum of four players can play together at once. Also, you cannot complete any main quests while playing co-op. When you join someone’s game, you cannot open chests, pick up certain items, or make offerings to Statues of the Seven. Keep these restrictions in mind when playing with friends.
