Genshin Impact's 2.6 livestream has come to an end and players now know what to expect in the next version of the game. Some of the new additions will be three character banners that will be added, along with two weapon banners.

With a new map and events for version 2.6, gamers may wonder how many Primogems they will be able to obtain from the entire version. Not to mention, they might need a lot of Fates to pull for their favorite characters when their banner is available. Here is an overview of how many Primogems players can collect in version 2.6


How to get Fates worth 16700+ Primogems in Genshin Impact 2.6 update
