Few games are as popular right now as Genshin Impact. The anime-style action role-playing game allows players to explore the seven nations of Teyvat while obtaining and using new weapons and equipment and teaming up with different characters. Players can also utilise redeem codes to progress more quickly and get items. In this guide, we explain how to redeem codes in Genshin Impact and what rewards you can receive.

Where to find Genshin Impact codes

The best place to find codes is on the game’s official social media channels. Try checking Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and Discord where codes are shared regularly. Posts usually explain when codes will expire and what rewards can be redeemed.

Redeeming codes is simple and can be done via the game’s official website or in the game itself.

Follow these steps to redeem Genshin Impact codes in-game:

  • Go to “Settings”

What kind of rewards you can expect from codes

Redemption code rewards can vary. But players can typically expect to receive in-game currencies such as Mora and Primogems, as well as other useful resources.

For example, a code shared on 01 April 2023 (which has since expired) granted players food and Mora.

Such rewards can help players make progress in the game more quickly, hence why Genshin Impact codes are so highly sought after.

Tips for maximising your rewards

Making the most of redemption codes is key. Obviously, you should be mindful of expiry dates to ensure you don’t miss out. With that in mind, it’s usually best to use them right away.

However, that doesn’t mean new players should rush into using as many codes as they can as quickly as possible. If you have a few days before a code expires, it may be better to hold off for a little while before cashing it in.

That way, you can use them when you really need them and avoid wasting any free rewards a code grants.

How often new Genshin Impact codes are released

New codes are released periodically with no fixed timings. That means players should stay tuned to official Genshin Impact social media for the latest news, including updates about any redemption codes that are released.

It’s worth bearing in mind, however, that code drops often happen as part of in-game events or updates. So, if you’re hoping for codes, keep your ear to the ground around these special milestones.
