Want to know how to redeem codes in Genshin Impact? Promo codes in Genshin Impact are gifted out to everyone and redeemable for free in-game items. Typically, these items are EXP books, Mora, and food, but sometimes there are codes that give you free Primogems, which are your main currency for the gacha system in Genshin.

Once you find a promo code, you’ll want to know if it works and how to go about redeeming the code in the first place, which we will cover in this guide. Each month there is a special livestream program where HoYoverse teases upcoming patch content and then promo codes released during these streams give 100 Primogems each.

How to redeem Genshin Impact codes on mobile

To redeem codes for Genshin Impact on mobile devices, you will need to visit the official Genshin Impact code redemption page. When you go to this page, there is a prompt to log in at the top right which you should do first if you’re not already signed in.

Once signed in, select the server you want to redeem the code on and it will auto-fill the character nickname field. Copy and paste the codes into the box at the bottom and hit redeem. There will be a popup box telling you if the code redemption was successful or not.

How to redeem Genshin Impact codes on PC

If you want to redeem Genshin Impact codes on PC, the method is exactly the same as when you do it on mobile. Using your laptop or computer, follow this link to the same official Genshin Impact code redemption page and log in using the button in the top right. You can also redeem codes using the in-game menu, but it’s easier to copy and paste them in a web browser.

Once again, select the correct server and then the website will fill in your nickname. Copy and paste the code you have into the box at the bottom and hit redeem. You will see a notification if the code was successful or not.

It doesn’t matter where or how you redeem Genshin codes, all that matters is that you are logged into the correct account and choose the correct server when you are going to redeem a code. If you’re a mobile player who has never played on a PC, then the method of code redemption is exactly the same. We suggest using your computer to enter in these details since mobile web pages can be a pain.

Once you’ve entered the code, you can log into the game and you will see that there will be a new message in the in-game mail system. Rewards are delivered through mail and you will see there if the code you entered has worked. Sometimes codes will be accepted only to give you a message saying it has expired or you already used it.

Codes released during special live streams only last 24 hours, so you should always make sure you redeem and claim these as fast as possible. That’s all you need to know about redeeming codes in Genshin Impact. If you want more, make sure you read our guides on how to get to Inazuma in Genshin Impact and how to get The Catch weapon.
