Genshin Impact Codes: Latest Codes and How to Redeem Them

Last checked: November 9, 2026

Active codes

Code	Reward
None confirmed right now

There is no Genshin Impact code we can confirm as working today. The three codes from the Version 7.2 special program expired in late October, and HoYoverse hasn't announced the next program yet. We can't test codes ourselves, so we only list a code as active when two separate sources confirm it.

Unconfirmed codes

Code	Reward	Why it is unconfirmed
GENSHINGIFT	50 Primogems, 3 Hero's Wit	GamesRadar lists it as a semi-permanent code that works now and then, even for players who used it before. We couldn't confirm it with a second source.

It costs nothing to try. If the game says the code is invalid or already used, it isn't working for you right now.

Recently expired codes

These came from the Version 7.2 special program on October 23, 2026. Both PC Gamer and GamesRadar listed the same three codes and rewards, and GamesRadar reported that they were active until Sunday, October 25 at 9 PM PDT.

Code	Reward	Status
HourOfRuin	100 Primogems, 10 Mystic Enhancement Ore	Expired
ExpertMitya	100 Primogems, 5 Hero's Wit	Expired
PhotoTime	100 Primogems, 50,000 Mora	Expired

How to redeem Genshin Impact codes in game

Reach Adventure Rank 10. Guides list this as the requirement for redeeming codes, and you get there quickly by playing through the opening quests.
Open the Paimon Menu.
Go to Settings, then Account.
Select Redeem Now.
Paste or type the code exactly as written and confirm.
Open your in-game Mail and claim the rewards.

GamesRadar notes that the in-game option exists "in some versions" of the game. If you can't find it on your platform, use the website instead.

How to redeem codes on the website

Go to the official redemption page at genshin.hoyoverse.com/en/gift.
Log in with the HoYoverse account you play on.
Check that the right server and character nickname are selected. They usually fill in automatically after you log in.
Enter the code and select Redeem.
Log in to the game and claim the rewards from your mail.

Rewards always arrive by in-game mail, wherever you redeem. Game mail usually expires after about 30 days, so don't leave rewards unclaimed for long.

Where Genshin Impact codes come from

Special program livestreams

Before each new version, HoYoverse streams a special program on its official Twitch and YouTube channels. Its official preview for Version 7.2 said the stream would "drop some redemption codes," and that's the most reliable source of new codes.

Each recent program has given three codes. In Version 7.2 they followed a set pattern:

Code type	Reward
First code	100 Primogems, 10 Mystic Enhancement Ore
Second code	100 Primogems, 5 Hero's Wit
Third code	100 Primogems, 50,000 Mora

That's 300 Primogems per version, but only if you redeem them in time. The 7.2 codes lasted until about two and a half days after the stream, and PC Gamer warns that livestream codes usually expire within a day or so. Redeem them as soon as they appear.

HoYoverse posts the date and time of each program on its official news page a couple of days ahead. The 7.2 program was announced on October 21 and aired on October 23, 2026, at 8:00 AM (UTC-4). The update itself arrived on November 4.

Other places codes appear

Official channels. HoYoverse occasionally shares codes on its official social accounts and on HoYoLAB.
Web events. These usually give rewards directly by mail rather than as codes, but they're worth doing for free Primogems.

Be careful with "code generators" and sites that ask for your password. Real codes are only entered in the game or on the official redemption page, and you never need to give anyone else your login.

Codes vs. other free Primogems

Codes are a small part of your free Primogems. In Version 7.2, HoYoverse also sent 300 Primogems as maintenance compensation and 300 as issue fix compensation to players at Adventure Rank 5 or above, and the "Grand Defense" event includes Primogems plus a free 4-star character of your choice. Check the current Genshin Impact banners to decide where to spend them, and read our pity guide before you wish.

Why a code isn't working

It expired. Livestream codes only last a few days at most.
You already used it. Each code works once per account.
Your Adventure Rank is too low. Reach AR 10 first.
Wrong server on the website. Make sure the server matches the one you play on.
A typo or extra space. Copy the code exactly, with nothing before or after it.
