Genshin Impact Can be completed Solo or Co-op

Genshin Impact developer miHoYo assures players that the upcoming free-to-play, open-world title will be equally accessible to solo players.

Genshin Impacts Co-Op Mode unlocks when you reach adventure rank 16, and players can do this by gaining more Adventure EXP through quests and challenges. From there, they can either let people into their world and join other worlds to meet new friends.

There are two buttons on the screen that players can use to access the Co-Op Mode menu. The first is through Paimon Menu, and the other is through Co-Op icon located at the top left of the screen. Once you're in the new menu, you can do one of two things:

  • Enter a new UID and join a friend's world
  • Request to join a random player's world

Hosting Co-Op Mode

Just like when traveling to other players' worlds, Genshin Impact players can also travel to your world if your permission settings allow you to do so. You can find the permissions tab at at the bottom left of the Co-Op Mode menu, and you can choose between three different setting options:


  • Join your world instantly
  • Request to join your world
  • Simply reject people from entering your world during that session

If someone joins your world, you have it 10 seconds to decide whether to invite them or not. The same applies if you join someone else's world.

How matchmaking works for Genshin Impact Co-Op

Matchmaking is only one feature that players can use during Domain challenges. It is mainly to help players who have a hard time tackling a domain on their own. Having a co-op team sometimes helps, and this is especially true if a player with a higher adventure rank joins the team. You just need to click the “Match” button when you enter the domain and wait for someone to join your world. Then just click invite to co-op and these matched players will join the domain team. Players can also have a chance to enter another person's world and the same goes for that as well.

Then only four players can join at a timeThis means that each player can only bring one character when they enter your world. It's a little different if only three players join, as that will mean the host gets a choice two characterswhile the Co-Op players only have one. Also, you can only join if your world level is the same or lower.

To add friends, click The “Friends” button on the Paimon menu, and you will come to a new screen. There will be three tabs, and the middle tab “Add Friends” is what you need to click. Then you must enter your friend's UID and click the “green arrow” to send the friend request. When your friend receives it, all they have to do is accept it and they'll appear in your friends list when they're online.

Additionally, you can also send a friend request via the “Add Friend” button that you see on a person's profile. If you click on it, a request is sent automatically and you usually cannot recover it.
