Genshin Impact is a surprisingly massive, in-depth, visually stunning open-world RPG whose influence has become huge on the overall gaming world. Starting off like a breath of the wild knockoff, the game has ended up as a free-to-play Powerhouse.
But it’s also a Gacha game, meaning all your loot, new character, or runes unlock possibilities, all depend on a lottery system developed by miHoYo. That’s why restating/ rerolling in Genshin Impact becomes quite common.
However, unlike other games, there isn’t any restart option in the game, and all of your saved data is linked to your email address. Then how can you restart the progression in the game?

How to Reroll or Restart Progress in Genshin Impact
There isn’t any Restart option in Genshin Impact. So to re-roll your Genshin Impact progress, you can create a new account or change the game server of your old account. They both will restart the game progress, but if you change the game server, you can’t recover the previous data.
In this section, I will give you a detailed walkthrough of each method so that you can apply any process without difficulties.
Here are the methods to reroll or restart game progress in Genshin Impact:
1. Create a New Account
The most common method for rerolling in Genshin Impact is to create a new account with a different email address. This method is also the safest because you can’t accidentally delete your game progress using the method.
Here are the steps to make a new account in Genshin Impact:
- Open any browser and go to the Genshin Impact site.
- Click the log-in option and select register now from the pop-up window.
- Fill out the forms and note down the email address and password.
- Open the game and log out of your old account.
- Log in to the account using the new email address and password.
- Start playing from the PROLOG.
Alternatively:
- Open the game and click the Door icon.
- Select OK to log out.
- Click Register Now in the pop-up option.
- Fill in the necessary data and select Register.
- Login with the new account and play the game until you reach level 5.
And there you have it. After completing the steps, you can start the game afresh.
Note: you can use these steps on both your mobile and PC. But for PS4 and PS5, you need to create a PSN account and link it with the Genshin Impact game.
2. Change the server
Changing the server also makes your game roll back to its initial stage. However, keep in mind it will delete all your previous server data, loot, character upgrade, runes everything. So you shouldn’t change your game server after level 10.
Here’s the method to change the server in Genshin Impact:
- Open the game and log in to your account (if not logged in).
- Click on the Server name.
- Choose any server from the list.
- Select the Confirm option.
- Open the game.
When you open the game, you will see the game starts from the prologue, and all of your game data will be reset to the starting position.
Should you Reset your Game Progress in Genshin Impact?
As you now know how to restart your Genshin Impact game progress, here’s a million-dollar quest again. Should you do it?
Well, the answer mainly depends on how much time you invested in the game and your satisfactory level with the wish result. Rolling back or restarting the game means playing the game from the beginning, completing the same missions, and going through the same location for Anemoculus.
If you are in lev5 or 6, your invested time may be 30 minutes to an hour. But when you go very further in-game, like character level 25 or level 50, it means you have to delete about 1.5 months’ worth of playthrough and start over again.
That’s why I recommend you think twice (or thrice) before resetting your progress in Genshin Impact.
Another reason for resetting the game can be the loot you got from the Wish system. For example, if you pull all amber accessories in your first wish, and they aren’t that good, you can reroll the game from the beginning because the chances of getting high-quality loot are pretty decent.
However, if you want to get a specific 5-star character, restarting the game won’t do you any good because, in Genshin Impact gacha systems, the possibility of getting a specific character is only 0.6 percent.

Conclusion
In short, there are two methods to reset your gameplay in the Genshin Impact. One is to create a new account with a different email, and the other is to change the game server. However, I don’t recommend changing your game server because it will permanently delete all your previous data, and you can’t recover them.
