Popular game Genshin Impact is celebrating its third anniversary this month. Naturally, the fans were in anticipation of some big announcements in the form of rewards, events, or new launches. And the developers did not disappoint the fans.
They did announce an event to celebrate the milestone along with rewards. However, the fans were not satisfied as they felt the game had not been generous enough compared to other games.
For the unaware, this is not the first time. The disappointment of Genshin Impact’s fans with developer, HoYoverse regarding anniversary celebrations has existed since their first anniversary in 2021. Unfortunately, looks like there is no improvement on that front with fans comparing the anniversary event to previous events.
During the first anniversary celebrations, HoYoverse offered rewards and events that the players felt were just a clear way to promote its game instead of being fun and rewarding for its player base. Several players had even expressed their negative emotions by bombing the game with negative reviews.
What are the rewards for Genshin Impact’s 3rd anniversary?
Genshin Impact was first launched on September 28, 2020. Therefore its third year anniversary falls on Thursday, September 28, 2023. The developer, HoYoverse, held a Twitch stream to announce Genshin Impact’s third-anniversary event and rewards on September 15, 2023. On the stream, they also spoke about what is to come in version 4.1
The third-anniversary theme event is named “Bathing in the Flowing Moonlight.” It will include rewards such as 1,600 primogems, 4 fragile resins, a new pet known as Itty Bitty Octobaby, as well as a portable aerodynamic gelatinous bubble generator.
All these anniversary rewards can be claimed through the in-game mail. The upcoming event and rewards are very similar to those of the past two years

There will also be redeem codes that the Genshin Impact players can avail which will also have some rewards. However, that too failed to lure the fans. Soon after the Genshin Impact’s Twitch livestream, fans began voicing out their dissatisfaction with posts on social media. One of the users also pointed out that its better Genshin Impact should be more generous like one of its predecessors, Honkai Impact 3rd. There were others who demanded a free character.
Ultimately, the decision of anniversary rewards lies with HoYoverse as well as the players themselves on whether they wish to continue investing in the game despite being disappointed or not. Players can play Genshin Impact for free on Android, iOS, PC, PS4, and PS5. The Nintendo Switch version of the game is currently under development.
