Key Takeaways:
- A collaboration between Among Us and Genshin Impact runs from September 10 to October 10.
- Free Paimon-themed cosmetics are available for players who log in to Among Us during this period.
- The event coincides with Genshin Impact’s “Luna I” (version 6.0) update.

A Surprise Gaming Crossover
Among Us and Genshin Impact have teamed up in an unexpected event that brings the whimsical Genshin companion, Paimon, into the realm of space-bound Crewmates and Impostors. The announcement, which came via Among Us’s official social media channels, sent players into a buzz as they realized they could outfit themselves with Paimon-inspired gear at no additional cost.
Inside the Free Cosmetics
The crossover’s highlight is a set of three cosmetic items: a Paimon-themed wig, a Paimon costume, and a special nameplate called the Crest of the Best Travel Companion. These items reimagine Paimon’s signature style and humor, referencing her status in Genshin Impact as a companion who is jokingly referred to as “emergency food” by parts of the community.
How to Redeem the Items
Any Among Us player who logs in between September 10 and October 10 will find these cosmetics ready to be claimed. All three items are free throughout the promotional window, offering fans ample time to suit up with Paimon’s look. Once October 10 passes, however, they will no longer be available.
Genshin Impact’s Luna I Update
This crossover corresponds with the release of Genshin Impact’s version 6.0 update, dubbed “Luna I” by its developer, HoYoVerse. The update introduces a new region known as Nod-Krai, situated in the very south of Snezhnaya. Described as a lunar remnant and a dangerous autonomous region, Nod-Krai brings fresh challenges and storylines for Genshin Impact enthusiasts.
Why the Collaboration Matters
Bridging the gap between two distinct styles of gameplay—one known for uncovering Impostors and the other for exploring a vast fantasy universe—the collaboration demonstrates the growing trend of cross-franchise promotions. With the items only around for a month, players will want to jump in before the freebies vanish on October 10, marking a memorable intersection between the worlds of Among Us and Genshin Impact.
