Genshin Impact players can claim 60 free Primogems this month by using a new redeem code from Twitch.

Several Twitch streamers currently have a Paimon extension enabled whenever they’re live on stream. When viewers come across these Genshin Impact streamers, they can make use of this extension to get a unique redeem code for the game.

This event ends on August 31 at 23:59 (UTC +8), so players should make sure to get their free Primogems while they can.

A step-by-step guide to get Genshin Impact redeem codes in August 2021

Step 1) Open Twitch and find an official Genshin Impact streamer

Genshin Impact players should start by opening Twitch on their PC or laptop. After logging into their Twitch account, they should then visit an ongoing livestream of a select Genshin Impact streamer.

Players should try to find a streamer who has the Paimon extension enabled, as this extension is key to getting the Twitch redeem code.

Each Twitch account can only claim one redeem code, and each Genshin Impact account can only receive one code from Twitch.

Step 2) Press like on the Paimon extension and get the redeem code

Once players are in the livestream, they can click the like button, then click the rewards button marked by a treasure chest.

It may be helpful to view the stream fullscreen to see the Paimon extension.

Twitch may ask players for access to their user ID when they click for rewards. Players should accept this to proceed.

Afterwards, users should click on the rewards button one more time. Here, they can collect their free redeem code.

To use redeem codes in-game, players should do the following:

  1. Launch Genshin Impact on any device
  2. Click on Paimon’s menu in the top-left

  4. Enter the redeem code under “Redeem Now”
  5. Click “Exchange”

Players who prefer to use the Genshin Impact webpage should take the following steps instead:

  1. Open the Genshin Impact gift page
  2. Login to the miHoYo account
  3. Ensure the server and Traveler nickname are correct, and enter the redeem code
  4. Click the redeem button

Step 4) Claim Primogems from the redeem code

Finally, Genshin Impact players must simply claim the redeem code rewards from their in-game mail. The Twitch code should send 60 Primogems to the mailbox once redeemed.

Players only need to open the mail item that has the rewards and click “Claim.” The Primogems will then be transferred to the player’s stockpile for them to save or spend.
