Genshin Impact 6th Anniversary Rewards are unusually generous in 2026: players can collect 1,600 Primogems, 10 Intertwined Fates and two separate five-star character choices during the Version 7.1 anniversary period. One selector is for a set of event-exclusive characters, while the other is the returning standard five-star invitation.
1,600 Primogems
The anniversary gives 1,600 Primogems, equal to ten limited-banner wishes if you convert all of them into Intertwined Fates. This is separate from the login Fates, so do not count the same ten wishes twice.
10 Intertwined Fates
A login reward provides another ten Intertwined Fates directly. Combined with the 1,600 Primogems, the two currency rewards are worth 20 limited-banner pulls before normal Version 7.1 events, commissions and quests are counted.
Free Limited Five-Star Selector
The new selector includes Baizhu, Nilou, Varesa, Tartaglia, Chiori and Clorinde. This is the headline anniversary surprise because these are event-exclusive characters rather than the normal standard-banner pool. The selector is tied to Version 7.1 progression and the new Archon Quest.
Free Standard Five-Star
A separate standard-character invitation returns as well. The current pool includes Jean, Diluc, Qiqi, Mona, Keqing, Tighnari, Dehya and Yumemizuki Mizuki. That means the limited selector does not replace the familiar standard choice.
Other Anniversary Gifts
HoYoverse has also shown additional commemorative items alongside the main currency rewards, including progression materials. The Genesis Crystal first-purchase bonus resets too, but that reset is not a free Crystal handout: it only restores the double-purchase bonus for eligible paid packs.
When Is the Sixth Anniversary?
Genshin Impact’s sixth anniversary falls on September 28, five days after Version 7.1 launches. Some rewards begin with the update while login campaigns and mail can follow their own event dates, so do not expect every reward to appear in one mailbox immediately after maintenance.
Which Reward Should You Claim First?
The character selectors deserve the most attention because they have event windows and can save far more Primogems than ordinary material rewards. Check the requirements as soon as Version 7.1 opens, then keep up with the login campaign for the ten Fates.
What Is Definitely Free?
The safe core is 1,600 Primogems, 10 Intertwined Fates and the two five-star invitation systems. Genshin Impact’s official site and in-game notices will provide the final claim dates and any smaller commemorative extras.
The Currency Rewards Equal 20 Limited Pulls
Ten Intertwined Fates are already ten wishes, while 1,600 Primogems can be converted into another ten. Together, those two anniversary rewards are worth 20 limited-banner pulls. Keep them separate when doing your own Primogem spreadsheet so you do not accidentally count the same Fates twice.
The Two Five-Star Choices Are Different Rewards
The event-exclusive selector and the standard five-star invitation are not the same menu with two names. One offers the limited pool tied to Version 7.1, while the other returns the standard-character choice. That distinction is important because claiming one should not be treated as spending the other.
Claim Time-Limited Rewards Before Farming Extras
Mail rewards and login campaigns are easy to overlook if you are rushing the new Archon Quest. Check the event pages and mailbox first, note any expiry dates, then move into exploration and farming. A missed anniversary claim is much harder to replace than ordinary Mora or talent materials.
Do You Need to Spend Money?
No. The headline anniversary gifts are free event rewards. The Genesis Crystal first-purchase reset is separate: it restores the bonus attached to a paid purchase but does not give Genesis Crystals to accounts that do not buy a pack.
