The version 5.7 livestream for Genshin Impact has just wrapped up, and as tradition dictates, HoYoverse shared a trio of limited-time redemption codes that can give your Primogem savings a welcome boost. With a fresh five-star Cryo swordswoman, a new Hydro support, and at least three highly anticipated reruns on the horizon, every extra Primogem counts. Are you ready to add these rewards to your hoard before they vanish?

Official broadcasts always pack a punch, and this one was no exception. The marquee addition is Skirk, a five-star Cryo character whose mysterious aura has intrigued Travelers since her first appearance in the Fontaine Archon quests. Joining her as a new four-star is Dahlia, a Hydro character expected to fit neatly into reaction-driven compositions. Leaks and official teasers suggest that the first banner phase will also feature reruns for Mavuika, Shenhe, and Emilie. If you missed the Pyro Archon during her debut or have been waiting for Shenhe’s return to empower your Cryo carries, those swirling Primogem wishes are about to become even more precious.

HoYoverse typically offers three codes during each version preview stream, and the 5.7 event follows the same formula. Each code grants 100 Primogems alongside a handful of enhancement materials. Here’s exactly what was revealed:

Together, these codes give you a total of 300 Primogems — almost two full wishes. For free-to-play and low-spend players, that can be the difference between an early pity break and another ten-pull on the final day of a banner. Why leave something so easy on the table?

Unlike some event rewards that hang around for weeks, these livestream codes usually expire within a single day. Yes, you read that right — roughly 24 hours after the broadcast ends. That urgency is deliberate, designed to reward attentive viewers and create a burst of excitement right when the new version’s content is shown. If you’re reading this on the day of the stream, stop everything and claim them now. If you’ve stumbled upon this a few days later, it’s still worth trying, but don’t be surprised if they’ve already turned to digital dust.

Before you dive into redemption, there is one small gate to clear — you need to have reached Adventure Rank 10. That’s an incredibly low bar that most players will hit within an hour of starting the game, so unless you’re trying to claim codes on a brand-new account without even leaving Mondstadt’s gates, you’ll be fine.

Once you’re past that threshold, HoYoverse offers two equally painless redemption methods. The first happens entirely inside the game:

1. Launch Genshin Impact.

2. Open the in-game menu (usually accessed via the Paimon icon on PC, or the equivalent on console and mobile).

3. Navigate to Settings, then select the Account tab.

4. Tap Redeem Now and type or paste a code into the box.

5. Confirm your entry, and the rewards will be sent directly to your in-game mailbox.

The alternative uses the official website, which can be a lifesaver if you’re away from your gaming device or you’re managing multiple accounts:

1. Navigate to the Genshin Impact redemption site.

2. Sign in with your HoYoverse account and double-check that the correct server region is selected.

3. Enter a code into the text field and click Redeem.

4. Boot up the game to find your Primogems, Mora, and materials waiting in the mailbox.

It’s worth noting that receiving rewards via the in-game mailbox doesn’t happen automatically. You must log into the game and manually claim them. The mail also has an expiration timer, so don’t leave those Primogems languishing for too long.

What makes the 5.7 codes particularly valuable is timing. A fresh version means a flurry of new quests, events, and exploration that will shower players with Primogems — but having 300 extra right out of the gate can ease the pressure when Skirk’s banner arrives. After all, who wouldn’t want to walk into the new update with a small fortune already in their pocket?

A quick word of caution: be wary of unofficial sources offering “exclusive” or “unlimited” Genshin Impact codes. HoYoverse solely releases working redemption codes through official livestreams, social media channels, and occasional partnership events. Any site promising thousands of Primogems for a quick survey is best ignored.

As the Genshin Impact community now shifts its gaze toward the mysteries of 5.7 — new seasonal events, the possible expansion of the Mare Jivari lore, and whatever surprise miHoYo has tucked into the back half of the patch — these codes are your simplest power-up. They cost nothing, they take only seconds to redeem, and the boost they provide could be the nudge that brings home a five-star character. The question isn’t whether you should redeem them. It’s whether you’re planning to do it before they disappear forever.
