When is Genshin Impact coming to Nintendo Switch?

The latest update of the game, Genshin Impact 1.1 was released on November 11. The first major patch added four new characters, the first seasonal event of the game, and some minor additions to quests.

Even at this point, it was not made compatible for Switch. For the upcoming two updates scheduled for December 2020 and February 202,1 Switch users should probably not get their hopes too high.
