To use an Xbox controller on Genshin Impact for Android, first ensure your controller is Bluetooth capable. Activate the controller’s Bluetooth pairing mode, then go to your Android device’s Bluetooth settings and select the controller to pair it. Launch Genshin Impact and navigate to the controls settings within the game. If the game does not automatically detect your controller, there may be compatibility issues, as direct controller support on Android can vary. Third-party apps like Octopus can help map the controller buttons as a workaround, but use such solutions at your own discretion.
