Summary
Genshin Impact's sixth anniversary arrives with Version 7.1, bringing a major reward package for Travelers. Players can claim free 5-star characters, 1,600 Primogems, Intertwined Fates, and additional materials. Travelers can also buy Genshin Impact Top Up for extra resources and upcoming banners. Here's what to know about the 2026 anniversary rewards and currently available codes.
Two Free 5-Star Characters
The biggest anniversary highlight is the chance to obtain two 5-star characters for free. The first is a Standard 5-star selector available through the anniversary event. The pool includes Jean, Diluc, Qiqi, Mona, Keqing, Tighnari, Dehya, and Yumemizuki Mizuki.
The second selector allows players to choose a free limited 5-star from a specific pool. Current reports list characters including Tartaglia, Nilou, Baizhu, Chiori, Clorinde, and Varesa. Players need to progress through the Version 7.1 Archon Quest before claiming this reward.
Both selectors are particularly useful for filling roster gaps without spending Primogems on a character banner.
1,600 Primogems and 10 Intertwined Fates
The anniversary package also provides 1,600 Primogems through in-game mail and 10 Intertwined Fates through the anniversary login event. Together, these equal 20 wishes.
The mail rewards are distributed across several days beginning September 28, while the login event provides its rewards over seven cumulative login days. Players should log in regularly and check their mailbox before the rewards expire.
Genshin Impact Promo Codes
Players can also watch for active redemption codes. For example, the September 2026 list includes VESNAONPATROL, which provides 40 Primogems, Hero's Wit, and Mora. EPIC2026 also provides 40 Primogems alongside upgrade materials.
However, livestream codes are often extremely short-lived. The Version 7.1 Special Program codes, for example, expired on September 15, so Travelers should redeem new codes as soon as they appear.
How to Claim the Anniversary Rewards
Start by updating to Version 7.1 and opening the Events menu. Claim the Standard 5-star selector, complete the required Archon Quest for the limited-character selector, log in throughout the anniversary check-in period, and collect the Primogems from your mailbox.
With two free 5-stars, 1,600 Primogems, 10 Intertwined Fates, and more rewards, the 2026 anniversary gives Travelers plenty of resources. Players who want extra resources for upcoming banners can also consider Genshin Impact Top Up.
