Summary
HoYoverse is giving away 1,600 Primogems for free to eachGenshin Impactplayer, following the discovery of a major bug affecting Neuvillette in Version 4.8. These free Primogems will be sent directly to player inboxes in a newGenshin Impactupdate, which is expected to roll out before the launch of Version 5.0.
Released on July 17,Genshin ImpactVersion 4.8introduced the Simulanka limited-time summer map, the final destination before the Traveler and Paimon leave Fontaine for Natlan. The latestGenshin Impactupdate sees the traveling pair team up with Kirara, Nilou, the Wanderer, and Navia to explore Simulanka, uncover secrets and treasures, and avert another crisis. Once more, Primogems are one of the most important currencies inGenshin Impact, allowing players to summon new characters like 5-star Dendro character Emilie from Event Wishes in Version 4.8.
On July 17, the officialGenshin ImpactTwitter account released a lengthy notice about a major bug that slowed downHydro catalyst user Neuvilletteand his Charged Attack, Equitable Judgment, confirming that a fix is on the way with 1,600 Primogems as compensation for all players. Initially,Genshin ImpactVersion 4.8 was supposed to deliver a fix to the abnormal rotation speed for Neuvillette’s Charged Attack, which was achieved by adjusting the sensitivity or mouse DPI settings. However, the update made matters worse for the community, since manyGenshin Impactplayers noticed that the character’s Charged Attack was even slower and clunkier to use in combat than before. This fix will be rolled back in an upcoming update, which will also send the free Primogems to all players.

HoYoverse notes that feedback from theGenshin Impactcommunity led them to make their decision shortly after Version 4.8’s release. The studio plans on taking more careful measures when making gameplay changes to existingGenshin Impactcharacters. At the very least,players will have plenty of Primogems on hand, since 1,600 Primogems is enough to draw a tenfold summon from an Event Wish. This presents an opportunity for many fans to pull some ofNatlan’s new playable characters in Version 5.0, if they choose to save the Primogems for the major update.
Genshin ImpactVersion 5.0is expected to be released near the end of August 2024, and the next special program will be another opportunity for fans to gain more Primogems for free, since HoYoverse normally distributes three promo codes per broadcast. Once ready, HoYoverse will reveal new information about the Natlan region, the Archon Quest storyline, all-new playable characters, and upcoming events before Version 5.0 launches.
