Version 2.3 of Genshin Impact is just around the corner and fans are anticipating a Geo-focused patch. Two new characters, Arataki Itto and Gorou, are both Geo. Currently, the rarity for each character has not yet been announced. Other than that, another 5-star character, Albedo, is likely to be the other featured unit. This is because the Chief Alchemist can be seen in the live stream announcement.

In every livestream, viewers are offered redeem codes. This article dives into the process of redeeming the codes on PC and mobile. Typically, a livestream offers three codes.

After completing all the steps, you need to check the in-game mail to claim the rewards. The mail can be found in the Paimon Menu (on the top left).

From a livestream, you can obtain 300 primogems, along with other rewards such as Mora, Mystic Enhancement Ores, and Hero's Wits. Livestreams are always anticipated for their decent primogems boosts. One Intertwined Fate or one Acquaint Fate costs 160 Primogems, so it's only 20 Primogems off a second wish.
