It's not uncommon for online games like Genshin Impact to celebrate a player's birthday with a little treat. Genshin Impact takes birthdays one step further, however, by also celebrating the birthdays of its many collectible playable characters.
Genshin Impact has made a name for itself be combining gatcha mechanics with an incredibly dense and well-executed open-world game. Players get an impressive amount of content for free, but are encouraged to spend money on wishes, which give players a small chance to add a new character to their Genshin Impact roster. These characters have unique backstories, favor different elements and weapon types, and have different favorite foods. They also have an assigned birthday that can be found in their character description.
On a character's birthday, players will receive mail from that character, talking about they spent their birthday. The mail includes that character's Special Dish (a dish that can only be cooked by that character) and a batch of level-up items associated with the character. Unlike mail that arrives for a player's birthday in Genshin Impact, which can be claimed within one year, character birthday rewards must be collected within 30 days of the character's birthday, or the mail expires. The good news is that a player doesn't have to own the character to get the rewards, so if they missed out on collecting Venti, they'll still get birthday mail for him.
Characters in Genshin Impact have the following birthdays:
- Diona - January 18
- Beidou - February 14
- Bennett - February 29
- Qiqi - March 3
- Jean - March 14
- Noelle - March 21
- Xiao - April 17
- Diluc - April 30
- Fischl - May 27
- Paimon - June 1
- Lisa - June 9
- Venti - June 16
- Barbara - July 5
- Childe - July 20
- Klee - July 27
- Amber - August 10
- Ningguang - August 26
- Mona - August 31
- Chongyun - September 7
- Razor - September 9
- Xingqiu - October 9
- Xiangling - November 2
- Xinyan - November 4
- Keqing - November 20
- Sucrose - November 26
- Kaeya - November 30
- Zhongli - December 31st
The level-up items are a nice reward for players, as some of them they are otherwise only obtainable in drops from completing Domains of Mastery or Forgery, dungeons that are only accessible on certain days of the week. And if a player doesn't have a character but receives their birthday rewards, it might not be a complete waste of a reward. Xiangling, for instance rewarded players 10 Slime Secretions on her birthday, a Character Ascension material that is also useful for Genshin Impact characters like Lisa, Venti, and Zhongli, as well as for ascending several weapons.
As only a handful of character birthdays have passed since Genshin Impact's launch, it remains to be seen what rewards are given out on each character's birthday, and if the rewards are the same every year. Regardless, its a nice way to gift players a small reward - and to encourage them to log back in frequently.
Genshin Impact is available on PS5, PS4 and PC.
