All Genshin Impact Character Birthdays & What Happens On Them

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. While celebrating specific Genshin birthdays, players can earn rewards on that character's special day, whether they've been acquired yet or not.

Genshin Impact has made a name for itself by combining gacha 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, gacha pulls, 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 in Genshin Impact, which can be found in their character description.

On a character's birthday in Genshin Impact, players will receive in-game mail from that character, talking about how they spent their birthday. The mail includes that character's Special Dish (a dish that can only be cooked by that particular character) and a batch of level-up items associated with them. Unlike mail that arrives for a player's birthday in Genshin Impact, which can be claimed within one year, character Genshin birthday rewards must be collected within 30 days of that specific character's birthday or the mail expires. The good news is that a player doesn't have to own the character to get Genshin Impact's birthday rewards, so if they missed out on collecting Venti, they'll still get birthday mail for him.

Now that miHoYo's RPG has been out for over a year, many of these characters will be celebrating their Genshin birthdays for a second time. This opens the door for new or additional rewards, although it's certainly possible the gifts will remain the same. Characters in Genshin Impact have the following birthdays, arranged in order by month:

• Diona - January 18
• Rosaria - January 24
• Beidou - February 14
• Kokomi - February 22
• 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
• Yoimiya - June 21
• Raiden Shogun (Baal) - June 26
• Barbara - July 5
• Hu Tao - July 15
• Tartaglia (Childe) - July 20
• Klee - July 27
• Yanfei - July 28
• Amber - August 10
• Ningguang - August 26
• Mona - August 31
• Chongyun - September 7
• Razor - September 9
• Albedo - September 13
• Ayaka - September 28
• Xingqiu - October 9
• Xinyan - October 16
• Sayu - October 19
• Kazuha - October 29
• Xiangling - November 2
• Xinyan - November 4
• Keqing - November 20
• Sucrose - November 26
• Kaeya - November 30
• Ganyu - December 2
• Zhongli - December 31st

The level-up items players receive from characters on their Genshin Impact birthdays are a nice reward for players, as some of them are otherwise only obtainable in drops from completing Domains, including certain 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. Xiangling, for instance, rewards players with 10 Slime Secretions on her birthday, a Character Ascension material that is also useful for other Genshin Impact characters like Lisa, Venti, and Zhongli, as well as for ascending several weapons.

Mailed gifts in Genshin Impact have been a nice way to reward players since the game launched, and it remains to be seen if the rewards are the same every year. As more playable characters are continued to be added in, it's possible Genshin's birthday system will be altered in the future. Regardless, it's a nice way to gift players a small reward - and to encourage them to log back into the game frequently.
