Anyone creating artwork and merchandise based on Genshin Impact can now sell that content with developer MiHoYo’s full support.
MiHoYo announced that it would allow the sale of “original secondary content” created by fans on Monday. That includes posters, stickers, character portraits, paintings and so on. Content creators don’t even need to declare this stuff to MiHoYo unless it competes with official merchandise. Items like figures or statues are more of a grey area, for example, so those might need the ok from MiHoYo before any transactions occur and modifying official merch for resale is a big no-no.
MiHoYo’s full guidelines regarding selling Genshin Impact content is available below. It’s pretty dense and rife with legal jargon, though, so it’s only worth reading if you plan to create and sell stuff.
Today, the Genshin Impact project team brings you information regarding the authorization of merchandise.

All it takes is a quick search on websites like Etsy to see that Genshin Impact has a huge community devoted just to creating original content based on the game. So MiHoYo laying out guidelines for what’s is and isn’t ok for fans is good to see.
Genshin Impact is an absolute titan of the video game industry right now. Fans go wild over character detail fact sheets and knowing what the best items are is essential to success.
