Redeeming codes in Genshin Impact is one of the easiest ways to score some fantastic free rewards, but I’ve noticed many players still struggle with the process. Let me walk you through everything you need to know about claiming these valuable freebies.
The Two Methods for Code Redemption
You’ve got two main options for redeeming Genshin Impact codes – either through the official website or directly in-game. I personally prefer the website method since it’s usually quicker, but both work equally well.
Website Redemption Process
Head over to Genshin Impact’s official code redemption page. You’ll need to log in with your game account first. Make sure you select the correct server where you play – I’ve made this mistake before and got confused when my rewards didn’t show up! Enter the code carefully (they’re case-sensitive) and hit redeem.
In-Game Redemption Steps
If you’re already playing, open the Paimon menu and look for “Settings.” From there, hit “Account” and you’ll see “Redeem Code” at the bottom. Just like the website method, type the code exactly as shown. One thing to note – this option isn’t available for PlayStation players until Adventure Rank 10.
Important Things to Remember
Here’s something I learned the hard way – codes have expiration dates! Some only last a few days, especially those released during livestreams. I always redeem new codes as soon as I see them now. Also, you can only use each code once per account, so don’t waste time trying to enter them multiple times.
Where to Find Valid Codes
I regularly check Genshin Impact’s official social media accounts for new codes. They often release them during special events and version livestreams. Community websites and Reddit are also great resources, but always verify codes are current before trying them.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
If you’re getting an error message, first check that you’ve typed the code correctly – I often mistake zeros for the letter O! Also, confirm you’re redeeming on the right server. If a valid code still isn’t working, it might have expired or you may have already claimed it.
Remember to check your in-game mail after redemption – that’s where your rewards will appear. I usually give it a few minutes if they don’t show up immediately. The rewards typically include things like Primogems, Mora, or character level-up materials, so it’s definitely worth taking the time to redeem these codes regularly.
