Everything You Need to Know About Genshin Impact Codes in 2026
Genshin Impact codes (also known as redemption codes, promo codes, or gift codes) are special alphanumeric strings released by HoYoverse (formerly miHoYo) that players can redeem for free in-game rewards. These rewards typically include Primogems (the premium currency used to wish/pull for characters and weapons), Mora (in-game gold), Hero's Wit (character EXP material), Mystic Enhancement Ore (weapon EXP material), and Adventurer's Experience.
When Are New Codes Released?
HoYoverse releases new Genshin Impact codes through several channels:
- Version Livestreams: Every 6 weeks before a new game version, HoYoverse hosts a Special Program livestream on Twitch and YouTube. During each livestream, 3 redemption codes are revealed, typically worth 100 Primogems each (300 total). These are the most valuable regular codes but expire within 12-24 hours. Learn more on our livestream schedule page.
- Special Events: Codes are sometimes released during in-game events, web events, and promotional campaigns.
- Milestones: HoYoverse occasionally releases codes to celebrate game milestones, like anniversary celebrations or social media follower milestones.
- Collaborations: Partnerships with other brands or content creators may include exclusive codes.
- HoYoLAB: The official community platform sometimes features codes in posts or event pages.
How Many Primogems Can You Get From Codes?
Over a typical 6-week version cycle, players can expect to earn approximately 300-500 Primogems from codes. Over a full year, this adds up to approximately 2,400-3,600 Primogems — equivalent to 15-22 Intertwined Fates (wishes). While this may not seem like much compared to other Primogem sources, codes are completely free and take only seconds to redeem. See our full Primogems guide for all the ways to earn free Primogems.
Version 6.5 Codes History
The Genshin Impact Version 6.5 Special Program livestream, which aired on March 27, 2026, revealed three redemption codes alongside announcements for new characters, events, and story content. The codes from the 6.5 livestream were Scaleblade, TempleofSpace, and LinneaClassTime, providing a combined total of 300 Primogems plus 50,000 Mora, 5 Hero's Wit, and 10 Mystic Enhancement Ore. These livestream codes expire on March 30, 2026, so redeem them quickly!
Permanent vs. Temporary Codes
Most Genshin Impact codes are temporary, but a few have remained active for extended periods. The most famous permanent code is GENSHINGIFT, which provides 50 Primogems and 3 Hero's Wit. However, even "permanent" codes can be deactivated at any time, so it's always best to redeem them as soon as possible. Check our version history for a complete archive of all codes by game version.
