Players can change their world level by accessing the menu and pressing the "i" icon next to your world level.

World Level Cooldown

World level can only be changed again after 24 hours. Lowering world level means weaker enemies but worse drops so be sure to keep that in mind before doing so! Take note that you can only lower it one level per 24 hours.

You will get an alert when someone sends you a request. Remember to set the two party members you want to use as the first 2 in your current party before accepting the request. You cannot change this after accepting.

Remember To Change Setting After Multiplayer

Once you're done with playing coop, remember to change your settings back to solo so you can play without people going into your session.

Match Through Domains

domain

You can also access multiplayer by using the match function in domains. This will automatically add players into your world or let you join another world with players queueing for that domain.

Crossplay Available

Play together with friends regardless of the platform they play Genshin Impact on. You can play together whether you're using PS4, PC, or Mobile. Do note that you need PS Plus to play online on the PS4.

What To Do In Multiplayer

Rush Through Dungeons

Rush Through Dungeons

Playing in a team makes running dungeons much faster. This will increase efficiency in collecting rewards, materials, and chests.

Explore The Host's World

Defeat Bosses Together

You can help the host explore their world and help them find chests, unlock waypoints, defeat bosses, ley lines, finish side or world quests, and more!

Rewards that drop from enemies in the world will scale from the host's world level. Be sure to take this into consideration when claiming from ley lines or world bosses from other players' world.

Clear Daily Quests

Clear Daily Quests

You can help out the host by joining them as they do their daily quests. This will count with your daily commissions, but you will no longer be able to acquire rewards for completing the commissions in your world.

Do Specific Events Together

There are events that you can play together with your friends. Do mind not all events can be played in Coop and if you can coop the events, the rewards are separated per player!
