Genshin Impact September 2026 Calendar Wallpapers are now available, giving Travelers a fresh collection of official wallpapers designed for PC, mobile devices and Apple Watch. HoYoverse is also launching a limited-time community event alongside the new calendar artwork, giving fans a chance to win 160 Primogems by participating on supported social media platforms.
The new September 2026 wallpapers are presented as a seasonal community feature, allowing players to decorate their devices with official Genshin Impact artwork while also taking part in a Primogem giveaway. The event begins on August 31, 2026 and will remain open until September 8, 2026 at 23:59 UTC+8, giving Travelers a limited window to submit their entries.
The event is available across multiple platforms, including X, Facebook, Instagram, Naver Cafe, Telegram, VK and Reddit. Participants on X must like and share the official event post, while users on the other supported platforms must like the post and leave their Genshin Impact UID in the comments section. HoYoverse also requires accounts and relevant posts to remain public, ensuring that participation can be verified.
For Travelers participating through X, there is an additional requirement. Winners will receive a private message from the official Genshin Impact X account requesting their UID. Participants must therefore make sure their account can receive direct messages and that the information they provide is correct. Failure to respond with the correct UID within the required period will result in forfeiture of the reward.
The biggest incentive is the Primogem ×160 reward, with 100 winners selected at random from successful participants across all supported platforms. This means the total number of available prizes is limited, making the event relatively competitive. HoYoverse has confirmed that there is no separate allocation for individual platforms or regions, with the 100 rewards shared across the entire event.
Travelers will not have to wait long for the outcome. The winner announcement is scheduled for September 15, 2026, after the participation period ends. However, the Primogems will not necessarily arrive immediately after the results are posted. According to the event rules, Primogem rewards will be delivered within 30 business days after the winner announcement.
The event also includes strict rules concerning content, copyright and account information. Participants are prohibited from posting material that violates laws, community rules or the event guidelines. This includes unrelated promotional content, such as advertising links and other forms of publicity. HoYoverse also warns against plagiarism, unauthorized use of other people's work and violations involving copyright, trademarks or personal rights.
Travelers are allowed to submit multiple entries, but only one prize can be won by each participant. Rewards cannot be combined, and duplicate winning entries across different platforms will only receive a single prize. If the same submission wins on multiple platforms, HoYoverse will award the reward based on the platform where the entry was first posted after final verification.
Privacy is another important part of the event. Participants agree that their Genshin Impact UID may be disclosed on the event platform, but HoYoverse states that the UID will be used specifically for delivering the Primogem reward and handled according to applicable local privacy protection laws and policies. Travelers should therefore pay close attention to the accuracy of their UID before submitting an entry.
Players should also be careful when updating their social media information after participating. In particular, X participants who change their account information before the reward is issued could potentially lose eligibility. HoYoverse additionally states that rewards will not be reissued when delivery fails because a participant provided an incorrect game UID.
The September calendar wallpaper campaign also continues the game's broader effort to keep the Genshin Impact community engaged between major gameplay updates. Seasonal wallpapers provide fans with official artwork outside the game itself, while social media campaigns encourage players to share and interact with the latest promotional material. With Version 7.0 and Snezhnaya currently dominating the game's content cycle, the September artwork arrives during a particularly active period for the community.
Travelers interested in participating should note the key dates. The Genshin Impact September 2026 Calendar Wallpapers event starts on August 31, entries close on September 8 at 23:59 UTC+8 and the winners will be announced on September 15. With 100 Primogem winners, free official wallpapers and support for several major social platforms, the event gives the community another simple way to celebrate the beginning of a new month in Teyvat.
