How to Change Account in Genshin Impact? 

If you want to start over the game on a new account, you won’t need to make any major changes. When launching the game, Hoyoverse lets you play from four different servers that are Asia, America, Europe, and TW, HK, MO. 

Please note that any in-game progress data with a specific server is not synced to other servers. So, you can freely make a new Genshin account with the same email. Here’s how to do exactly that. 

Launch the game and tap on the Server option. Select a new server, like America, and tap to continue the game. You’ll now have a new account along with a new UID (User ID). You can use this account to start a new game, test out new characters, and even redeem new codes. 

If you want to go back to your old account, simply select your old server from the login page and resume playing. Any existing data will not be at risk. 

Why can’t I Log in to Genshin Impact?

Normally, you can’t log in to Genshin Impact when the game is under server maintenance. You’ll even notice the pop-up message on the login page that says Under Maintenance. This simply means that the game is undergoing a significant patch update that happens around every 42 days. The maintenance period can last up to 5 hours. 

Once you log back in, Genshin Impact will reward you with 300 primogems as compensation for the maintenance period. 

However, if you’re not seeing the Under Maintenance message and are having trouble logging in, you can contact their customer care at genshin_cs@hoyoverse.com. 

How to Link Genshin Impact Mobile to PC? 

Genshin Impact is seamless with cross-platform play so that your game progress is in sync regardless of the device you’re using. So, if you play on mobile, you can directly log back into another device, like a PlayStation, and continue from where you left off. 

However, it can be tricky to properly link your desired devices to the game. So, here’s how you can link Genshin Impact mobile to PC: 

1. Tap on the Paimon logo on the top-left corner of the screen. 
2. Select the Settings icon. 
3. Go to Account > User Center. 
4. Tap on the email option. Verify your email by sending a verification code to your email address. 
5. Now, go back to the game and enter the code. 

You can now open Genshin Impact on your PC and log in using the email address you just verified. You can seamlessly continue your in-game progress.  

How to Link Genshin Impact PS4 or PS5 Account to Mobile?

If you started playing Genshin Impact on your PlayStation and would like to link your account to mobile, here’s how you can do it: 

1. Launch the game and open the Paimon menu. You can access it by pressing the Options button on your console if you’re using a PS4. If you’re on PS5, press the button with three horizontal lines. 
2. Go to Settings > Account.
3. Click on User Center. Doing so will open a new webpage. 
4. Click on the Link Account option. 
5. Enter a new email address on the Link Account pop-up menu. 
6. Click on Send Code in the Verification Code box to register and verify your email id. 
7. Check your associated email and enter the verification code. 
8. Now, click on Link to confirm.

You can now use the same email id to continue your progress when logging in to Genshin Impact for mobile or PC. 

How to redeem codes in Genshin Impact on mobile/PC?

With every new patch update, you can always look forward to new codes for a generous amount of free primogems. Before the release of every update, Hoyoverse always streams their new update announcement on their Twitch and Youtube channels.

During the announcement intervals, you’ll find new codes on-screen. 

1. Log in to Genshin Impact’s official website and visit the Redemption page.
2. Here, you’ll need to select your current server.
3. Paste the code in the Redemption code box.
   
4. Click on Redeem.  

It’s helpful to remember that you can successfully start redeeming codes only after you’ve reached Adventure Rank ten. You can increase your AR by simply gaining more Adventure XP by completing quests and exploring the beautiful world of Tevyat.
