Genshin Impact codes (November 2026)

This page is part of our game codes hub. Playing more than one HoYoverse game? Codes work the same way on our Honkai: Star Rail codes and Zenless Zone Zero codes pages, though every code only works in its own game.

Working Genshin Impact codes

HoYoverse posts livestream codes on its official X and HoYoLAB accounts, but most of the smaller codes are never collected in one official list. So every code below either comes from an official post, or is listed as working by at least two independent major trackers updated in November 2026: Pocket Tactics (updated November 9) and Dexerto (updated November 7) list all seven with the same rewards. GIGA (updated November 4) lists six of the seven and Game8 (updated November 4) five. All of them are entered on the official redeem page or in the game.

A few notes on the table. KeepUpWithMitya, MIJIQ23V2437 and CDOF4X83H7X2 are the newest, all added in early November 2026; the first one shares its name with the "Keep Up With Mitya!" event that the 7.2 event calendar lists from 4 to 12 November 2026. The code has no published end date, so redeem it first in case it goes with the event. Game8 dates the three 60 Primogem codes to 14 September (Y6JYMKV6JKSL), 5 October (NEEIJB764CA3) and 23 October 2026 (PJ2KEBRAYSRM). None of the seven codes has a published end date, so any of them can stop working without notice.

GENSHINGIFT, the old evergreen code for 50 Primogems and 3 Hero's Wit, is not in the table. Pocket Tactics says it "works periodically", Dexerto and Game8 still list it as active, and Pocket Gamer (updated November 1) files it under expired. It is one use per account, so most older accounts burned it long ago. Try it once; if it fails, move on.

The rows under "Recently expired" are the official Special Program codes from version 7.2. Each paid 100 Primogems plus materials, and all three ran out on 26 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC+8. Two more codes we saw elsewhere did not make the table: EPIC2026 (Game8 and Pocket Gamer list it, Pocket Tactics says it expired) and OKTCHX26J57Q (only Game8 lists it).

How to redeem codes on the official web page

The web page is the quickest route, works for every platform and lets you paste a whole list without starting the game. Three things are needed: a HoYoverse account linked to your game, a character on the server you pick, and Adventure Rank 10 or higher (Game8, Dexerto and Pocket Tactics all give AR 10 as the minimum).

1. Open genshin.hoyoverse.com/en/gift in a browser on a phone or computer. Bookmark it and type the address yourself instead of following links from code lists.
2. Log in with the HoYoverse account you play on.
3. Select your server (America, Europe, Asia or TW, HK, MO). The page then shows the character nickname it found there, so you can check you picked the right one.
4. Paste the code and press Redeem.
5. Open the in-game Mail and claim the reward. Nothing reaches your inventory until you claim it, and in-game mail does not wait forever: it usually expires about 30 days after it is sent.

How to redeem in game on PC, mobile and console

The in-game route takes the same codes. Game8 and Pocket Tactics describe the same path:

1. Open the Paimon Menu. On PC press Esc.
2. Open Settings with the cog icon at the bottom left.
3. Go to the Account tab and choose Redeem Code.
4. Paste the code and press Exchange.
5. Open Mail and claim the reward.

iOS: Game8 says the in-game Redeem Code option is not available on iOS. If you do not see it on your iPhone or iPad, use the web page; the reward lands in the same in-game mailbox. PlayStation and Xbox: redeem on the web page with the HoYoverse account linked to your console profile, then claim from Mail in the game. We could not confirm a controller button path for every console, so we do not guess it here. Each code works once per account, not once per device.

Why a code does not work

Codes from Honkai: Star Rail, Zenless Zone Zero or Wuthering Waves look much the same but never work in Genshin. Copy the exact string rather than typing it. If a code from a random list fails as invalid while it is spelled right, it most likely expired long ago.

Where HoYoverse posts new Genshin codes

• The Special Program livestream. Each version gets a preview stream on the official Genshin Impact YouTube and Twitch channels. The 7.2 stream aired on 23 October 2026 at 08:00 UTC-4 (05:00 Pacific), twelve days before the version went live on 4 November. Three codes appear on screen, worth 100 Primogems each.
• The official X account. Right after the stream HoYoverse posts a "Special Program Recap" with the three codes and the exact deadline. For 7.2 that was 26 October 2026, 12:00 UTC+8.
• HoYoLAB. The official Genshin Impact account announces the stream date in advance (the 7.2 preview went up on 21 October) and carries every version notice. Plenty of HoYoLAB posts listing codes are by fan guide creators, not HoYoverse; check the author badge.
• In-game mail. Compensation and event gifts do not need a code at all; they arrive in Mail.
• The redeem page. genshin.hoyoverse.com/en/gift is the only place to enter codes outside the game. Any other site that asks for your HoYoverse login in exchange for codes or Primogems is a scam.

What code rewards are worth

Put the numbers together: the codes in the table pay 180 Primogems, a little over one pull, plus 50 more if GENSHINGIFT still works on your account. A full set of livestream codes adds 300 more. Codes are a top up; they will never carry a banner on their own. The talent books from PNKZ3WLNN8G6 are worth more to a new player than they look, because talent upgrades are where Mora and books run out first.

Bigger than codes: free Primogems in version 7.2

The official 7.2 notices list rewards that dwarf any code:

• 300 Primogems maintenance compensation for every Traveler at Adventure Rank 5 or higher by 4 November 2026, 06:00 UTC+8, to claim before the end of 7.2, plus 300 more as issue fix compensation that had to be claimed by 7 November, 06:00 UTC+8.
• The Grand Defense: Defy the Unjust Judgment, the flagship event, runs for the whole of 7.2 (4 November to 16 December 2026) and lets you invite one 4-star of your choice out of eight: Amber, Xiangling, Thoma, Collei, Lynette, Kachina, Aino or Alyosha. The event calendar puts its Primogems at 920. It needs AR 20 and Archon Quest Chapter VII: Act IV, or the Quick Start button on the event page.
• Where Kristall Roots Run Deep: finish the exploration missions in the new Snezhnaya areas, Novokitezhgrad and Wingspan Peak, by 26 January 2027, 14:59, for an extra 400 Primogems.
• The Archon Quest "Hour of Ruin": finish the new Chapter VII acts (Act V and Act VI, open from AR 18 once Act IV is done) by 15 December 2026, 14:59, for 560 Primogems plus Ascension materials for Mitya.

New players get the best deal of all: "Across the Frozen Wilds, Honing One's Edge" gives any account registered after the 7.2 update one 5-star of its choice from the standard wish, plus that character's Ascension materials. If you are starting out, that one pick is worth more than every code on this page put together.

Version 7.2 banners: where your Primogems go

Phase I of 7.2 runs two character banners until 24 November 2026, 17:59: "Myriad Patterns Unfold" with the new 5-star Mitya (Electro, Catalyst) and "Chanson of Many Waters" with a Furina rerun. Both boost the 4-stars Valeriy (Electro, Sword, new in 7.2), Charlotte and Rosaria, and both share one pity counter. Phase II brings reruns of Zibai and Linnea plus a Natlan Chronicled Wish. The weapon banner carries Mitya's Starsealed Edict and Furina's Splendor of Tranquil Waters.

Older expired codes

These still turn up on old lists. Pocket Tactics (updated November 9, 2026) and Game8 (updated November 4, 2026) both list them as expired, so skip them:
