Genshin livestream codes are the three Primogem codes HoYoverse has dropped during each of its last three Special Programs, and they die fast. The next drop is now official: the Version 7.2 "Hour of Ruin" Special Program airs on Friday 23 October 2026. This page tracks that stream, will list the 7.2 codes as soon as they are shown, and keeps a dated archive of every recent livestream code with the official time it stopped working.
Quick answer (checked 23 October 2026, 06:54 UTC, before the stream): HoYoverse has announced the Version 7.2 Special Program for Friday 23 October 2026 at 08:00 AM UTC-4 (12:00 UTC) on its official Twitch and YouTube channels. There are 0 verified Genshin 7.2 livestream codes listed here at this check, and no 7.2 expiry has been announced. HoYoverse prints each deadline in its post-stream recap, so take the date from there and redeem on stream day. The 7.1 codes Rekviem, Vesna0923 and PrimaDonna are expired.
Article status: refreshed 23 October 2026 before the Special Program. The official news feed still shows the Preview, not a code recap. Live version is 7.1, "A Rekviem for the Underworld".
Are there any Genshin 7.2 livestream codes yet?
Not yet. No code strings appear in the official Preview as of this check; HoYoverse says the program will drop redemption codes. At 04:00 UTC on 21 October 2026 HoYoverse posted its "Genshin Impact Version 7.2 Special Program Preview" on the official HoYoLAB news feed (also official news item 166991), and the announcement banner names the version "7.2 Hour of Ruin".
| Version 7.2 code | Reward | Drop time | Expiry | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Not shown yet | Not announced | During the stream, which starts 23 Oct 2026, 12:00 UTC | Not announced | Waiting for the Special Program |
We add each string the moment it appears on the official stream or in a first-party HoYoverse post. A social-media label alone cannot prove that a string belongs to the 7.2 stream, so check the original first-party post before treating anything as a new code. We list a code only from the official stream, a first-party HoYoverse post, or two genuinely independent outlets.
For the regular, non-stream codes that are live this month, use our Genshin Impact codes page. This page only covers the Special Program drop.
When is the Genshin 7.2 livestream?
Friday 23 October 2026, 08:00 AM UTC-4, which is 12:00 UTC. HoYoverse's Preview post reads:
"The special program for Genshin Impact's new version will premiere on the official Twitch and YouTube channels on 10/23/2026 at 08:00 AM (UTC-4)! This special program will feature juicy details about new game content and developments in Version 7.2. It will also "drop" some redemption codes and other goodies!" (HoYoverse, Genshin Impact Version 7.2 Special Program Preview, 21 October 2026)
The phrasing is "some redemption codes". The Preview does not promise a number, so "three codes" is a pattern, not a guarantee.
The timing matches the recent pattern. Each Preview went up two days before its stream, and the stream keeps the same 08:00 UTC-4 slot:
| Version | Preview posted | Special Program (UTC) | Version launch | Stream to launch |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Luna VIII | 16 June 2026 | Thu 18 June 2026, 12:00 | 1 July 2026 | 13 days |
| 7.0 | 29 July 2026 | Fri 31 July 2026, 12:00 | 12 August 2026 | 12 days |
| 7.1 | 7 September 2026 | Sat 12 September 2026, 12:00 | 23 September 2026 | 11 days |
| 7.2 | 21 October 2026 | Fri 23 October 2026, 12:00 | Expected 4 November 2026 | 12 days |
The 4 November launch is an expectation, not a first-party confirmation as of this check: the community wiki lists it as expected, and it fits the six-week cadence. HoYoverse has confirmed the launch date on Special Program day before, and the exact maintenance time follows in its Update Maintenance Preview. Our Genshin 7.2 release date guide walks through the maintenance window server by server.
What time does the 7.2 stream start in my time zone?
The official start is 08:00 AM UTC-4, which is 12:00 UTC on Friday 23 October. Europe is still on summer time that day (clocks change on 25 October), and Sydney is already on daylight time.
| Location | Local start, Friday 23 October 2026 |
|---|---|
| Los Angeles | 5:00 AM PDT |
| New York | 8:00 AM EDT |
| UTC | 12:00 PM |
| London | 1:00 PM BST |
| Berlin and Paris | 2:00 PM CEST |
| Moscow | 3:00 PM MSK |
| New Delhi | 5:30 PM IST |
| Singapore | 8:00 PM SGT |
| Tokyo | 9:00 PM JST |
| Sydney | 11:00 PM AEDT |
The codes are not announced at a fixed minute, so we give no drop time. For reference, HoYoverse's official X recap posts that list the codes went up at 13:15 UTC for 7.0 and 13:35 UTC for 7.1, roughly an hour and a quarter to an hour and a half after the stream started. Keep the redemption page open and stay to the end.
How long do Genshin livestream codes last?
Not 24 hours. That rule of thumb is out of date. HoYoverse states the deadline itself in the recap post that lists the codes. For the last three streams that post gave the expiry as 12:00 on the UTC+8 clock, which is 04:00 UTC:
| Stream | Start (UTC) | Official expiry (as posted) | Expiry (UTC) | Window |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Luna VIII | Thu 18 June, 12:00 | 22 June 2026, 12:00 (UTC+8) | Mon 22 June, 04:00 | about 88 hours |
| 7.0 | Fri 31 July, 12:00 | 3 August 2026, 12:00 (UTC+8) | Mon 3 August, 04:00 | about 64 hours |
| 7.1 | Sat 12 September, 12:00 | 15 September 2026, 12:00 (UTC+8) | Tue 15 September, 04:00 | about 64 hours |
Three things follow:
- Each cut-off was midnight US Eastern. Polygon gave the 7.1 deadline as "Sept. 15 at 12 a.m. EDT", which is the same instant as HoYoverse's 12:00 (UTC+8). The community wiki notes that since Version 5.3, Special Program codes get 48 hours on top of the old 16-hour window.
- Outlets can disagree with the official post. Eurogamer printed the 7.1 deadline as Wednesday 16 September. HoYoverse's own recap says 15 September, so treat the later date as an error.
- The window varied with the weekday. A Thursday stream got almost four days; Friday and Saturday streams got under three.
We do not predict the 7.2 deadline. The Preview states none, and the last three windows ranged from 64 to 88 hours, so any single guess could cost you the Primogems. Redeem on stream day and the exact cut-off stops mattering.
Which Genshin livestream codes have expired?
All of them. These are listed so you can stop trying them, and so you can spot a recycled string when a page relabels it as new. Every row below comes from HoYoverse's official Special Program Recap post on X, which also gives the deadline.
Version 7.1 "A Rekviem for the Underworld" (stream 12 September 2026, expired 15 September 2026, 04:00 UTC):
| Expired code | Former reward |
|---|---|
| Rekviem | 100 Primogems, 10 Mystic Enhancement Ore |
| Vesna0923 | 100 Primogems, 5 Hero's Wit |
| PrimaDonna | 100 Primogems, 50,000 Mora |
Version 7.0 "Everwinter Without Mercy" (stream 31 July 2026, expired 3 August 2026, 04:00 UTC):
| Expired code | Former reward |
|---|---|
| Everwinter | 100 Primogems, 10 Mystic Enhancement Ore |
| OntoSnezhnaya | 100 Primogems, 5 Hero's Wit |
| Odette0812 | 100 Primogems, 50,000 Mora |
Version Luna VIII "Sunny Summer Fontinalia" (stream 18 June 2026, expired 22 June 2026, 04:00 UTC):
| Expired code | Former reward |
|---|---|
| Marionette | 100 Primogems, 10 Mystic Enhancement Ore |
| TotheMoon | 100 Primogems, 5 Hero's Wit |
| TeaPartyTime | 100 Primogems, 50,000 Mora |
The community wiki still lists Marionette's ore as Fine Enhancement Ore; HoYoverse's recap post says Mystic, and we follow the first-party text.
How many Primogems will the 7.2 livestream codes give?
HoYoverse has not said. The track record is consistent: each of the last three streams dropped three codes worth 100 Primogems each, 300 Primogems per stream, which is just under two wishes (a wish costs 160). The second rewards follow the same template every time: one code adds 10 Mystic Enhancement Ore, one adds 5 Hero's Wit, one adds 50,000 Mora.
Across the three streams in the archive that is 900 Primogems, a bit over five and a half wishes. Count the 7.2 haul as likely, not guaranteed.
What will the 7.2 Special Program reveal besides codes?
Officially, only "new game content and developments in Version 7.2". The one new first-party fact is the version name, "Hour of Ruin", printed on the announcement banner. Two upcoming Snezhnaya characters have first-party drip-marketing cards published on HoYoLAB on 29 September 2026: Mitya and Valeriy, both Electro. The stream is where HoYoverse usually confirms the banner line-up, so treat any 7.2 banner list you see before then as a leak. Our Genshin 7.2 characters page separates what is official from what is not. Current wishes and their end times are on the banner schedule.
How do you redeem Genshin livestream codes fastest?
The official web page is fastest, because you never leave the stream.
- Before the stream, open the official HoYoverse Code Redemption page (genshin.hoyoverse.com/en/gift) and sign in.
- Select your server and confirm the nickname belongs to the right character.
- When a code appears on stream, paste it exactly, with no leading or trailing space. Copy rather than retype; a single wrong character fails.
- Select Redeem, then repeat for each code.
- Open the game and claim the rewards from in-game Mail.
You need a created character and a HoYoverse account linked in User Center for web redemption. The community wiki and most trackers also cite Adventure Rank 10 for most codes. You can redeem in game through Settings, then Account, then Redeem Code, but Game8 and Beebom note that option is not available on iOS, so iPhone and iPad players should use the web page. Our step-by-step guide on how to redeem Genshin Impact codes covers PS5 and Xbox too.
Mail rewards do not last forever. HoYoverse's recap posts state that redeemed-code mail expires after 30 days. Open the attachment the same day.
Why does a Genshin livestream code not work?
| Error or symptom | Likely cause and fix |
|---|---|
| Invalid code | Typo, or an extra space at the start or end. Copy it again. |
| Code expired | Past the deadline in HoYoverse's recap post. The last three streams all ended at 04:00 UTC on their cut-off day; check the archive above. |
| Already in use | You already redeemed it on this account. Check Mail. |
| Adventure Rank too low | Reach AR 10, then retry before the deadline. |
| Rewards missing | Wrong server or nickname selected on the web form. |
| "7.2 code" fails before the stream | Check the original source. This tracker has no verified 7.2 strings at its last check. |
Never enter your HoYoverse password on a page reached through a reply, a direct message or a "code generator". Real livestream codes are typed into HoYoverse's own page and nowhere else.

Code strings, rewards and expiry times for 7.1, 7.0 and Luna VIII come from HoYoverse's official Special Program Recap posts on X (18 June, 31 July and 12 September 2026, each stating a 12:00 UTC+8 deadline), matched against the community wiki's Promotional Code history, Polygon, Sportskeeda and Eurogamer.
