HoYoverse is giving away Genshin Impact Primogems and Honkai: Star Rail

Guides

Thousands of Primogems and Stellar Jades are up for grabs as HoYoverse rolls out a generous gift event for Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail players. Here’s how you can claim your 1,000 free rewards before they’re gone.


Genshin Impact on the other hand received the ‘PlayStation® Partner Awards 2024 EXCELLENCE AWARD’.

To celebrate the awards, both the Hoyoverse games are giving generous rewards to their player base. Both the player base will receive a 1000 Stellar Jades and Primogems for the respective games. Here’s how you can claim free Primogems and Stellar Jades in Genshin Impact and HSR respectively.

  • Honkai Star Rail players will be receiving 1000 Stellar Jades directly to their in-game mail box on December 4, at 00:00 (server time). Another thing to remember is that players must be at Trailblaze level 5 or higher to receive this reward. The reward will be claimable until the end of version 2.7.
  • Genshin Impact players will be receiving a 1000 Primogems between December 4 and December 8, 2024. On December 4, 200 Primogems will be issued via in-game mail at 00:00 (Server Time). Only players who have reached Adventure Rank 7 or above can claim this reward. The reward will be claimable before the end of version 5.2 and the mail will expire in 30 days.

With Honkai Star Rail entering version 2.7 on December 4th after maintenance break, this would be a massive plus for players that want to get their hands on Sunday or Jing Yuan.

Detailed steps to claim Genshin 1000 Primogems

Genshin Impact’s 1,000 free Primogems from the December 2024 PlayStation Partner Awards promotion required Adventure Rank 7+ and were automatically delivered via in-game mail. The claim window ended at version 5.2’s close (early January 2025), so they are no longer available as of January 2026.​

Past Claim Steps

Players needed to log in between December 4-8, 2024, open the in-game mail tab (envelope icon on the main menu), and claim the rewards directly from the HoYoverse message-no codes or external links required. The Primogems had to be used before the mail expired at version end.​

Current Alternatives

No active 1,000 Primogem gift matches this event; check in-game notices, HoYoLAB, or livestreams for new rewards like maintenance compensation (often 600+ Primogems). Daily commissions yield 60 Primogems per day, while events and Spiral Abyss provide steady sources toward similar totals over time.​

Current Genshin Impact redemption codes

Genshin Impact redemption codes are released by HoYoverse during livestreams, events, or milestones and typically reward Primogems, Mora, Hero’s Wit, and other items. As of January 2026, active codes can be found on updated tracker sites like Icy Veins or Game8, with rewards delivered via in-game mail after redemption.​

Active Codes List

Sites list dozens of ongoing codes for January 2026, including rewards like 60 Primogems + materials (e.g., Adventurer’s Experience x5), 100 Primogems + ores, or food items. Examples from trackers include short-term livestream codes and anniversary-style ones offering Hero’s Wit x3 or Mystic Enhancement Ore x5; exact codes vary and expire quickly, so verify live lists.​
