The Xbox Wind Glider, originally an Xbox-exclusive item, will be free to claim on all platforms during the version 5.3 update. This limited-time duration to claim the Wind Glider will begin with the release of Genshin Impact 5.3 on January 1, 2025, and end with the version 5.4 maintenance on February 12, 2025.

During this time, players on PC, PlayStation, and mobile devices will have the opportunity to log in and obtain the glider through their in-game mail. However, players should note that since the mail is only valid for 30 days from receiving it, it is important to claim the reward before it expires.

The "Wings of Fate's Course Intertwined" Wind Glider was first introduced alongside the version 5.2 update as a commemorative item for Xbox players. The skin features a sleek design inspired by the iconic green-and-black color scheme of Xbox branding.

Xbox users were granted permanent access to this exclusive item, marking the first time Genshin Impact celebrated its release on a new console platform with a platform-specific cosmetic.

To equip the Wind Glider, players need to unlock the Dressing Room feature by progressing through the game’s main storyline. Once unlocked, the item can be selected by going to the Dressing Room section on your character screen and selecting the "Wind Glider" option, where you can choose and equip your desired Wind Glider.

The reintroduction of this platform-specific cosmetic for all players is an effort to make a previously exclusive item more broadly accessible. This limited-time opportunity allows fans across the globe to obtain the coveted Wind Glider, regardless of their preferred platform.

So, be sure to log in during version 5.3 and add this unique item to your collection before it expires.
