Genshin Impact Codes — Every Active Code Today

Active Genshin Impact Codes

Five global codes that pay Primogems are live, worth 210 Primogems between them. The three Version 7.2 Special Program codes from HoYoverse's October 23 livestream, HourofRuin, ExpertMitya and PhotoTime (100 Primogems each), expired at 04:00 UTC on October 26 and are now in the expired table. @GenshinImpact's recap reply on X made them "valid until October 26, 2026, 12:00 (UTC+8)", the same moment; HoYoLAB's official Redemption Codes panel, which listed them as live on October 25 with that end time, was no longer on the page when we re-read it at 04:34 UTC on October 26; and gachafeed (checked at 04:02 UTC) and Timesaver both mark them expired. The newest code still counted is PJ2KEBRAYSRM (60 Primogems, 5 Adventurer's Experience), which the wiki added late on October 23 and gachafeed, Game8, Sportskeeda and GIGA list; Pocket Tactics, PCGamesN, game.guide and Timesaver do not, and no HoYoverse channel has posted it (details below). No string first seen after October 23 is carried by more than one of the sources we checked; those single-source sightings are covered under the disagreements below. Three more codes pay only materials, and one China-only code has been redeemable since 2020. VesnaOnPatrol stays in the expired table: HoYoverse's event notice made it valid until October 22, 2026, 23:59 (UTC+8), that deadline has passed, gachafeed and Timesaver mark it expired, game.guide's October 25 list leaves it out, and a wotpack reader reported it invalid. Game8's October 26 update still prints it as active, as do Pocket Tactics, PCGamesN and Sportskeeda in their October 23 updates and Dexerto in its October 19 update, but the date comes from HoYoverse's own notice. 2BJ64QRZ7RT8 and Y1INABQB6DEX stay in the expired table, and Pocket Tactics and Game8 have moved both to their expired lists too. A further string, NEEIJB764CA3 (60 Primogems), is still on most trackers but was removed from the wiki as invalid, and two sources say it shares a redemption slot with Y6JYMKV6JKSL; it is covered under the disagreements below and left out of every count and total. The GS71X and PLDX material-code groups, BALLETCOLLAB, DUGODWKRHAKDNJ and YOAL3V36XHS7 stay in the expired table as well: other trackers report them dead, though the wiki or some lists still carry them.

Last verified: October 26, 2026. Checked against the Redemption Codes panel on HoYoLAB's official Genshin Impact page (on October 25 it listed the three livestream codes as live, ending at 04:00 UTC on October 26; when we re-read the page at 04:34 UTC on October 26, the panel was gone), @GenshinImpact's Version 7.2 Special Program Recap post on X and its follow-up reply (both October 23, about 13:00 UTC, read through X's embed service: the recap lists the three codes and their rewards, the reply says they are "valid until October 26, 2026, 12:00 (UTC+8)"), HoYoverse's Version 7.2 Special Program Preview (posted October 21; it set the broadcast for October 23 at 08:00 UTC-4 and said the program would "drop" redemption codes), HoYoverse's official Vesna's Patrol Mission notice (which gives that event code's reward and expiry date), HoYoverse's Genshin Impact news feed (no post since the October 23 trailer) and the @GenshinImpact posts that gachafeed's page embeds (the newest, from October 25, carries no code), the Genshin Impact Wiki's Promotional Code tracker and its revision history (it added the livestream codes and PJ2KEBRAYSRM on October 23 and OKTCV81F9H8D on October 24, and has not been edited since), gachafeed (checked at 04:02 UTC on October 26), Timesaver, Game8 and Eurogamer (all updated October 26), game.guide (October 25), Pocket Tactics, PCGamesN, Sportskeeda, GIGA, wotpack, VG247, Rock Paper Shotgun and IGN (all updated October 23), Dexerto (October 19), Dot Esports (last tested October 12; its page would not load for this check or the last one, so its entries here are as we read them on October 23), the gamevika feed aggregator (October 26, 06:00 UTC snapshot), the community-run hoyo-codes list (read at 05:40 UTC on October 26), the Version 7.2 livestream codes pages from PC Gamer and Sportskeeda, and HoYoLAB community code lists posted October 14–24 by CrimsonWitch and arlee_mi. We could not load HoYoLAB's official post feed for this check. We did not watch the broadcast: the three livestream strings, their rewards and their deadline come from HoYoverse's own X posts and HoYoLAB's official panel, and the wiki, PC Gamer, Sportskeeda, Pocket Tactics, Game8 and CrimsonWitch's HoYoLAB list agree on all three strings and their rewards. They differ only in capitalisation: HoYoverse's X recap, HoYoLAB's panel, Pocket Tactics, Game8, PCGamesN, GIGA and CrimsonWitch print HourofRuin, the wiki, PC Gamer, Sportskeeda, game.guide and arlee_mi print HourOfRuin, and gachafeed prints HOUROFRUIN; we print HoYoverse's spelling. The sources also disagree on whether capitalisation matters at all: GIGA says it makes no difference when you enter a code, while gachafeed's FAQ says some codes are case-sensitive, so copying a code exactly as printed is the safe choice. HoYoverse's own channels back only the livestream codes and the Patrol Mission code's dates, so no single source settles everything; the disagreements are spelled out after the tables.

The five global codes add up to 210 Primogems (60 + 20 + 30 + 40 + 60), plus 40,000 Mora, 7 Hero's Wit, 10 Adventurer's Experience and 160 Geodes of Replication (a figure the trackers disagree on, below), if you redeem all five on one account. None of the five has a published expiry, but neither did the two 60-Primogem codes reported dead on October 14, so don't sit on them.

The three Version 7.2 livestream codes, which carried another 300 Primogems, are gone. @GenshinImpact's reply under its October 23 recap on X made them valid until October 26, 2026, 12:00 (UTC+8), and HoYoLAB's official Redemption Codes panel gave the same end time: 04:00 UTC on October 26, which is midnight at the start of October 26 in UTC-4, the time zone HoYoverse announced the broadcast in, and 9 p.m. on October 25 in US Pacific time. The panel listed them as live on October 25 and was gone from HoYoLAB's official page when we re-read it at 04:34 UTC on October 26. gachafeed (checked at 04:02 UTC), Timesaver and Eurogamer (both updated October 26) mark all three expired, and IGN's page now labels their window "Event ended". Not every list has caught up yet: Game8's October 26 update still shows them in its 7.2 section, while saying they cannot be redeemed after October 26; game.guide's October 25 check, made before the deadline, still lists them, and so does the gamevika aggregator's October 26, 06:00 UTC snapshot, two hours after it, from one untested feed listing each; the wiki, last edited October 24, still carries them in its Active Codes table with an October 26 end date; and the community-run hoyo-codes list still marked all three "OK" when we read it at 05:40 UTC, 100 minutes after the deadline. HoYoverse's own end time takes priority over those lists.

Material-Only Codes

These pay Mora, EXP books, ore, food or talent books, but no Primogems.

A code group is several strings that share one redemption slot. The Genshin Impact Wiki's editing notes describe the pattern: group members usually start with the same four characters, and once you redeem one, the others stop working on that account. The prefix is a habit, not a rule: the wiki's own history page records 8X73KH58KDHN and WD85AIU078V4 as one group from January 2026. The wiki lists the four GS71X strings as one group, and the three PLDX strings share a prefix the same way; both groups are now in the expired table. OKTCV81F9H8D pays exactly the same bundle as DATG5HG1PL89, and none of the sources we checked says whether the two stack, so try both.

Where the Sources Disagree

• PJ2KEBRAYSRM. The wiki added it late on October 23 as a Global code paying 60 Primogems and 5 Adventurer's Experience, with no expiry. Game8 (updated October 26) dates it October 23, Sportskeeda's October 23 update and GIGA list it, gachafeed (checked October 26) lists it as working, the community-run hoyo-codes list marks it "OK", and the HoYoLAB code lists CrimsonWitch posted on October 23 and arlee_mi on October 24 carry it too. arlee_mi's list prints its reward as 100 Primogems and 5 Hero's Wit, which is ExpertMitya's reward, but that post's own 510-Primogem headline only adds up if it pays 60. Pocket Tactics and PCGamesN (both updated October 23), game.guide (October 25) and Timesaver (October 26, whose 210-Primogem count includes NEEIJB764CA3 instead) do not list it. It was not on HoYoLAB's official Redemption Codes panel when we read it on October 25 (the panel carried only the three livestream codes), it is not in HoYoverse's news feed, and none of the sources says where it came from. It pays the same bundle as Y6JYMKV6JKSL, and none of the sources says whether the two share a redemption slot. We count it on the strength of the wiki and those seven lists.
• 2BJ64QRZ7RT8, Y1INABQB6DEX and the PLDX group. gachafeed has marked 2BJ64QRZ7RT8, Y1INABQB6DEX and PLDXI8VFKI7C expired since October 14, and the HoYoLAB code lists CrimsonWitch and arlee_mi have posted since that day leave all of them out. Since this page's October 14 check, Pocket Tactics (updated October 23) and Game8 (updated October 26) have moved 2BJ64QRZ7RT8 and Y1INABQB6DEX to their expired lists, Timesaver's October 26 update calls both "likely expired", and Game8 has moved PLDXIB886Y1S there too; Dexerto's October 19 update lists 2BJ64QRZ7RT8 as expired and no longer carries Y1INABQB6DEX; game.guide's list (checked October 25) does not carry 2BJ64QRZ7RT8; and a reader comment on wotpack from about October 19 reports 2BJ64QRZ7RT8, Y1INABQB6DEX and PLDX12KCWMJ4 no longer valid. On the other side, the wiki's Active Codes table still lists 2BJ64QRZ7RT8, Dot Esports (last tested October 12) still carries all three, Sportskeeda's October 23 update carries 2BJ64QRZ7RT8 and PLDX12KCWMJ4, wotpack's October 23 list still carries both Primogem codes and PLDX12KCWMJ4 despite that comment, and Dexerto's October 19 update still lists PLDXIB886Y1S as active. We keep all three in the expired table. If you have never redeemed the two Primogem codes, one try costs nothing: they would add 120 Primogems to the 210 above, or 60 if wotpack is right that Y1INABQB6DEX shares a slot with 2BJ64QRZ7RT8.
• NEEIJB764CA3. Game8 and Timesaver (both updated October 26), Pocket Tactics, PCGamesN and Sportskeeda (all updated October 23), gachafeed (October 26), Dexerto (October 19) and Dot Esports (tested October 12) list it as active, all but gachafeed with 60 Primogems and 5 Adventurer's Experience (gachafeed prints only the 60 Primogems); Timesaver counts it in its 210-Primogem total in place of PJ2KEBRAYSRM. game.guide's October 25 list and the HoYoLAB lists CrimsonWitch and arlee_mi have posted since October 14 leave it out. The wiki added it on October 4 and removed it on October 6 with the edit note "remove invalid NEEIJB764CA3". The Russian tracker wotpack (updated October 23) lists it as sharing one redemption slot with Y6JYMKV6JKSL, together with two more strings, NEEI8A8341OW and NEEIZIE3T66K, and its reader comments on NEEIJB764CA3 are mixed; arlee_mi's October 5 HoYoLAB list says the same about the slot, warning that it returns "Code is already in use" on accounts that have redeemed Y6JYMKV6JKSL. A fourth string, NEEI986K5X6R, circulates in HoYoLAB community posts with the same reward. None of the four is in HoYoverse's news feed or HoYoLAB's official posts. If the pairing is right, NEEIJB764CA3 pays nothing extra on an account that has already redeemed Y6JYMKV6JKSL, which would also explain the wiki's "invalid" result. It stays out of the tables and the totals; trying it costs nothing.
• OKTCHX26J57Q. Game8's October 26 list carries this string, dated October 20, with exactly the same reward as OKTCV81F9H8D, and does not list OKTCV81F9H8D itself (a Game8 reader comment does). The only other place we found OKTCHX26J57Q is the gamevika feed aggregator, from a single feed listing that it marks as untested; the wiki, which added OKTCV81F9H8D on October 24, does not carry it. The two share their first four characters, the wiki's usual sign of a code group whose strings share one redemption slot, but none of the sources says whether they do. We list only OKTCV81F9H8D, the string more sources carry; if it fails, OKTCHX26J57Q is worth one try.
• QYJWQVRI39BE. The gamevika feed aggregator's October 25 and October 26 snapshots show this string as new from a single feed listing, with 60 Primogems and 5 Adventurer's Experience, and mark it untested. The only other trace we found is a link in Timesaver's October 24 update to a r/GenshinImpactTips thread whose address names it as a 60-Primogem code; that update did not count it, and reported that two players in the thread said they redeemed one string, got "already redeemed" on the second and concluded the two were alternates, without naming the second string. Timesaver's October 26 rewrite drops that link and instead mentions an unnamed 60-Primogem string posted in a r/Genshin_Impact_Leaks thread on October 25, with no player reporting a test; it does not count that one either, and we could not tell whether it is the same string. Neither is in the tables or the totals.
• 6LS3F3LS5K87's Geodes of Replication. The code itself is not in doubt: the wiki added it on October 3 (one editor swapped it out on October 4, and it was restored on October 6), and every tracker above lists it as active with 20 Primogems. The second reward is split. The wiki, Sportskeeda, game.guide, wotpack, gachafeed, Eurogamer, Dot Esports, the hoyo-codes list and the HoYoLAB lists from CrimsonWitch and arlee_mi print 160 Geodes of Replication, a Miliastra Wonderland currency; Pocket Tactics, PCGamesN, Game8 and Dexerto print 60. The wiki logs four earlier 2026 codes paying exactly 20 Primogems and 160 Geodes (JTSHBHPPKUSV, MIXF44DAP7HW, A0NBWRZZI3XJ and NMI20MAJGIBP), so we list 160. None of the sources says where the code came from.
• BALLETCOLLAB, DUGODWKRHAKDNJ and YOAL3V36XHS7. The wiki's Active Codes table, whose only changes since October 6 are the October 23 and 24 additions, still carries all three with no expiry. Pocket Tactics and Game8 have both moved them to their expired lists: DUGODWKRHAKDNJ in both sites' September 12 updates, the other two by their September 29 updates. PCGamesN's October 8 and Dexerto's October 9 updates list all three as expired too, Dot Esports lists BALLETCOLLAB and YOAL3V36XHS7 as expired, and Sportskeeda's October 23 list leaves all three out. We have followed the fresher, dated sources and moved them to the expired table. If you have never redeemed them, one try costs nothing.
• OPERACOLLAB's reward. Game8's main codes page now prints 30 Primogems (it printed 40 on September 30), but Game8's separate Version 7.1 codes page (updated October 4) still prints 40. The wiki, Pocket Tactics, Sportskeeda, PCGamesN, Dexerto, MMO Culture and Beebom print 30, and a reader comment on Game8's codes page reported receiving 30. We list 30.
• EPIC2026's Hero's Wit. The wiki, Pocket Tactics, Game8, Sportskeeda, PCGamesN, Dexerto and MMO Culture print 5. Eurogamer (updated October 26), VG247, Rock Paper Shotgun and IGN (all updated October 23) print 3; Timesaver notes that the first three share a publisher, so they are not independent of each other. The 40 Primogems and 20,000 Mora are not in dispute.
• The GS71 group. The wiki still lists it as active with four strings, and Sportskeeda's October 23 list prints three of them, leaving out GS71XOXYLG. Three other lists mark GS71X strings expired: Dexerto lists GS71XYNSYJ and GS71XDYGEO as expired; gachafeed (October 26) marks GS71XAVWDS and GS71XYNSYJ expired; and game.guide (October 25) lists GS71XYNSYJ, GS71XOXYLG and GS71XDYGEO as expired. Pocket Tactics and PCGamesN list none of the GS71 strings, and Game8 has moved a fifth string, GS71YTAICB (same reward), to expired. As with BALLETCOLLAB and the two codes beside it above, we have followed the fresher, dated sources and moved the group to the expired table. If you have never redeemed a GS71X string, one try costs nothing.
• GENSHINGIFT. Game8, PCGamesN ("new players only"), Dexerto, Dot Esports, MMO Culture and Beebom list the old 50-Primogem starter code as active, and Pocket Tactics says it "works periodically." The wiki records that it hit its maximum usage on May 20, 2026. We leave it off the active table and out of the totals.

How to Redeem a Genshin Impact Code

You need Adventure Rank 10 for most codes. A small number of historical exceptions — GENSHINGIFT and codes bundled with Prime Gaming offers — were redeemable from Adventure Rank 1, with Adventure Rank 2 required to actually open the reward in your mailbox. Neither of those is on the active list above, so AR10 is the number to plan around today. For what Adventure Rank actually gates in the rest of the game, see our World Level guide.

Redeeming Online vs. In-Game

Genshin Impact supports both redemption paths, and they land in the same place — your in-game mailbox.

Online (works from any device):

1. Go to the official Code Redemption page at genshin.hoyoverse.com/gift.
2. Log in with the account you play on.
3. Select your server and enter the code exactly as written. Sources disagree on whether capitalisation matters (see above), so copying it as printed is safest.
4. Confirm. The reward is sent to your in-game mailbox, not applied instantly.

In-game:

1. Open the Paimon Menu.
2. Go to Settings → Account → Redeem Code.
3. Type the code and confirm.

Either way, open your Mailbox afterward and claim the attachment. Mail with unclaimed attachments doesn't sit forever — the mailbox caps at 1,000 entries and starts auto-deleting the oldest claimed or attachment-free mail once you're over that, so claim promptly rather than letting redeemed codes pile up unopened. HoYoverse's notice for the Patrol Mission code adds that its reward mail expires 30 days after you redeem, and its X post on the Version 7.2 livestream codes says the same.

Recently Expired Codes

If a code you found is failing, check here before assuming you mistyped it. All nineteen of these were listed as live within the last eight weeks. Twelve have logged expiry dates. The seven marked "disputed" were reported dead by some trackers while the wiki or other lists still carry them: gachafeed and the HoYoLAB community lists since October 14, now joined by Pocket Tactics and Game8, for 2BJ64QRZ7RT8, Y1INABQB6DEX and the PLDX group; Dexerto, gachafeed and game.guide for the GS71X group; and Pocket Tactics and Game8 for the other three.

HourofRuin, ExpertMitya and PhotoTime are the three codes from the Version 7.2 Special Program, broadcast October 23 from 12:00 UTC. Together they paid 300 Primogems, 10 Mystic Enhancement Ore, 5 Hero's Wit and 50,000 Mora, and all three expired at the time HoYoverse gave for them, October 26, 2026, 12:00 (UTC+8), which is 04:00 UTC. Rekviem, Vesna0923 and PrimaDonna are the three codes from the Version 7.1 "A Rekviem for the Underworld" Special Program, broadcast September 12. They paid the same 300 Primogems and materials, and all three expired on September 15, three days after the broadcast. If a friend just sent you one of those six strings, it's too late; don't burn time retyping it. VesnaOnPatrol, the Patrol Mission event code, ran out at the deadline HoYoverse published for it: October 22, 2026, 23:59 (UTC+8), which is 15:59 UTC.

Where New Codes Come From

New codes arrive from a handful of recurring sources:

• Special Program livestreams. Each version livestream (roughly every six weeks, one per major or minor update) hands out three codes worth 100 Primogems each on screen. Version 7.1's were Rekviem, Vesna0923 and PrimaDonna. HoYoverse announced the Version 7.2 Special Program on October 21 and aired it on October 23 at 08:00 (UTC-4); its three codes were HourofRuin, ExpertMitya and PhotoTime, now in the expired table above.
• Official web and social events. The code the Genshin Impact Wiki and the trackers list as VesnaOnPatrol was the reward from HoYoverse's "Vesna's Patrol Mission" social event, which ran September 24 to October 4, 2026 (UTC+8); the code itself stayed valid until October 22 and has now expired. MySnezhnayaCareer came from a HoYoLAB career-test article tied to the Version 7.0 "Everwinter Without Mercy" launch, not a stream.
• Collab and partner codes. BALLETCOLLAB (now reported dead) was tied to a ballet project, and OPERACOLLAB surfaced on September 28 with no HoYoverse news post attached. The wiki's cited source for it is a performance video of Vodyanitsa's "A Winter Night's Aria" posted by singer Daria Terekhova. Codes like these typically post on official or partner social accounts rather than in-game.
• Region-specific promotions. The Snezhnaya code above was Southeast Asia-only — most codes are tagged "Global" on the wiki's tracker, but region-locked exceptions do happen.

Why Livestream Codes Expire So Fast

Special Program codes are built to expire quickly by design. Per the wiki's own tracking notes, livestream codes historically expired within 16 hours of the broadcast; since Version 5.3, HoYoverse extends that window, and the observed gap for the three Version 7.1 codes was September 12 to September 15 — about three days. The three Version 7.2 codes, aired October 23 from 12:00 UTC, ended at 04:00 UTC on October 26, the time both HoYoverse's X reply and HoYoLAB's official Redemption Codes panel gave: 64 hours, the 16 hours plus the 48-hour extension. That's still short next to other codes: 2BJ64QRZ7RT8 stayed redeemable from July 31 until trackers reported it dead on October 14, Y6JYMKV6JKSL has been live since September 13, and VesnaOnPatrol lasted from September 24 to October 22. If you want the livestream Primogems, redeem them the same day the stream airs; if you're reading a code list a week later, assume they're already gone and check the active table above instead.

Why a Code Might Fail

A handful of reasons cover almost every failed redemption:

• It already expired. Check the expired table above. The twelve with logged dates will not work anymore, wherever you found them; the seven marked "disputed" are worth one try.
• You already redeemed it on this account. Every code is one-time-per-account. A second attempt either returns an already-in-use error or gets silently accepted with a mailbox notice saying it's already claimed — either way, you won't get a second reward, even if you don't remember claiming it the first time.
• You already used another code from the same group. The wiki groups the four GS71X strings this way: redeem GS71XAVWDS and the other three fail on that account. That group and the three PLDX strings, which share a prefix the same way, are both now reported expired. The wotpack tracker also lists NEEIJB764CA3 as sharing a slot with Y6JYMKV6JKSL, and one HoYoLAB community list says the same; HoYoverse has not said so.
• You're under Adventure Rank 10. Nearly every current code enforces this floor. Push a bit further into the story or world exploration and retry.
• Typos. Codes are strings of letters and numbers, so 0 vs. O is an easy slip, and the wiki notes that a space at the start or end of a code, easy to pick up in a copy-paste, makes it invalid.
• Wrong server. A code tagged for one server (like the Southeast Asia-only Snezhnaya code above) will not redeem on a different one, even with an otherwise valid, unexpired code.

What to Spend Free Primogems On

Code Primogems are small individually — the five active global codes add up to 210, one 160-Primogem wish with 50 left over and nowhere near a guaranteed pull on their own — but they stack with your other income into the same pool everything else draws from. If you're deciding where those Primogems and the Mora/EXP materials from these codes should go, our wish and pity guide covers exactly what a pull costs and how pity carries over, and the resin management guide covers where the EXP and enhancement materials these codes pay out get spent fastest.

Quick Action Checklist

• Redeem the five global Primogem codes: PJ2KEBRAYSRM, 6LS3F3LS5K87, OPERACOLLAB, EPIC2026, Y6JYMKV6JKSL — 210 Primogems combined.
• If you have never redeemed them, try 2BJ64QRZ7RT8 and Y1INABQB6DEX (60 Primogems each) once — they were reported dead on October 14, but some lists still carry them.
• Optionally try NEEIJB764CA3 (60 Primogems, 5 Adventurer's Experience) — most trackers list it, but the wiki removed it as invalid and two sources say it shares a slot with Y6JYMKV6JKSL, so it is not in the 210.
• For materials, redeem OKTCV81F9H8D, DATG5HG1PL89 and PNKZ3WLNN8G6.
• China-server accounts can also redeem YuanShen, live since November 2020.
• You need Adventure Rank 10 for essentially all of these.
• Redeem online at genshin.hoyoverse.com/gift or in-game via Settings → Account → Redeem Code, then claim the attachment from your Mailbox.
• The Version 7.2 livestream codes HourofRuin, ExpertMitya and PhotoTime are gone: they expired at the deadline HoYoverse gave, October 26, 2026, 04:00 UTC.
• VesnaOnPatrol is gone too: it expired at its published deadline, October 22, 2026, 23:59 (UTC+8).
• Don't bother with Rekviem, Vesna0923, PrimaDonna, MySnezhnayaCareer, Snezhnaya, LEGEDILJKSGM, GS70XRNWFB or XVIZDH2B9WGX — all eight expired between September 1 and September 15, 2026. BALLETCOLLAB, YOAL3V36XHS7, DUGODWKRHAKDNJ, the GS71X group and the PLDX group are reported dead too, though some lists still carry them.
• Special Program livestream codes historically die within days of the broadcast — redeem them the same day you see them.
