Genshin Impact is one of the most generous open world games out there when it comes to free currency, and redeem codes are one of the easiest ways to pad your Primogem count without spending a single dollar. Hoyoverse drops new codes during special program livestreams, around major updates, and occasionally to mark milestones. The catch: most of them expire fast. This page keeps every active code in one place so you can grab them before they vanish.
All active Genshin Impact codes right now
Below are every code confirmed working as of August 2026. Redeem them immediately since limited-use codes can disappear without warning.
Active codes
Version 7.0 livestream codes
Hoyoverse revealed three codes during the version 7.0 special program livestream. These are time-limited and typically expire within 12 to 24 hours of the stream ending.
If these livestream codes no longer work by the time you read this, they have expired. Check the latest Genshin Impact patch notes and event coverage for the next scheduled stream date.
How do you redeem Genshin Impact codes?
There are two methods: the official web redemption page and the in-game menu. Both work equally well, though the web page is slightly faster if you have the codes copied to your clipboard.
Method 1: Web redemption page
- Visit the official Hoyoverse gift redemption page at genshin.hoyoverse.com/en/gift
- Log in with your linked account
- Select your server from the dropdown
- Enter your character nickname
- Paste or type the code and hit Redeem
- Open your in-game mailbox to collect the rewards
Method 2: In-game redemption
- Launch Genshin Impact and open the main menu
- Tap the cog icon at the bottom left to open Settings
- Navigate to the Account tab
- Select Redeem Code
- Paste or type the code, then press Exchange
- Head to your in-game Mailbox to claim the items
In-game Redemption
Why isn't my Genshin code working?
A few things can cause a code to fail:
- Already redeemed: Each code can only be used once per account. There is no workaround.
- Expired: Limited codes have either a hard expiration date or a maximum number of total redemptions across all players. Once either limit is hit, the code stops working for everyone.
- Typo: Codes are case-sensitive. Copy and paste whenever possible instead of typing manually.
- Adventure Rank too low: You need to be at least Adventure Rank 10. Log in and complete a few quests to reach it quickly.
How do you get more Primogems for free?
Codes are a quick hit, but they are not the only free Primogem source. After testing the most reliable methods across multiple accounts, here are the ones worth prioritizing:
- Daily Commissions: Unlock at Adventure Rank 12 and reward Primogems every day. Completing all four in a single day adds a bonus on top.
- Events: Each version update brings multiple limited-time events, most of which hand out Primogems as completion rewards. The version 6.5 and 6.6 updates both packed in substantial event slates, so staying on top of all current events in each patch is worth your time.
- Quests: Story quests, world quests, and archon quests all grant Primogems on completion. New regions consistently add hundreds worth of quests.
- Chests and Shrines: Exploring the map and opening chests or unlocking fast-travel shrines passively builds up your Primogem count.
- Achievements: Many achievements are completable without any extra effort. Check the achievement menu periodically for low-hanging rewards.
- Starglitter and Stardust: These convert into Intertwined Fate and Acquaint Fate through the in-game shop, which function identically to spending Primogems on wishes.
Where do new Genshin Impact codes come from?
The majority of codes arrive through two channels. The most reliable is the special program livestream that Hoyoverse broadcasts roughly two weeks before each new version update. These streams almost always include three codes containing 100 Primogems each, plus additional materials. The second channel is general promotions: social media campaigns, collaboration events, or anniversary milestones. These are less predictable but worth watching for.
Following the official Genshin Impact accounts on X (formerly Twitter) and keeping notifications on is the most direct way to catch codes the moment they go live. Livestream codes in particular can expire within hours.
