Genshin Impact developer HoYoverse announced on Friday (1 December) that they will be giving all players free 800 Primogems after the game won the PlayStation Partner Awards 2023 Grand Award.

The 800 Primogems will be distributed in batches of 200 from 2 to 5 December and can be claimed at any time before the end of Genshin Impact version 4.2. The Primogem is Genshin Impact's premium in-game currency that is used to acquire new characters and weapons.

Genshin Impact was one of the three games to win the PlayStation Partner Awards 2023 Grand Award alongside Resident Evil 4 and Final Fantasy XVI. This also marks the third-straight year that Genshin Impact has won the Grand Award for PlayStation's annual Partner Awards.

Genshin Impact is also not the only HoYoverse game to bag awards this year. The developer's latest title, the space fantasy RPG Honkai: Star Rail, won the Game of the Year award from the Google Play and Apple App Store awards and will be giving its own players free 800 Stellar Jade, its own version of Primogems.

Both Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail have also been nominated in the Game Awards 2023, which will announce winners on 7 December.

Genshin Impact is a nominee for the Best Ongoing Game category while Honkai: Star Rail is a nominee for the Best Mobile Game category. Both HoYoverse games are also in the Top 10 of the ongoing fan-voted Player's Voice award.

Genshin Impact is currently in the second half of version 4.2, which features reruns for Cyno and Kamisato Ayato. If you're turn on whether or not you should pull on their banners, we've got you covered.

After version 4.2 comes version 4.3, which features the debuts of Navia and Chevreuse.
