In 2026, Genshin Impact fans are still losing their minds over the game’s ever-expanding world, and now they have a brand new reason to blast their speakers at full volume: the release of The Shimmering Voyage Vol. 6, the official commemorative OST album tied to the fan-favorite Song of the Welkin Moon. For anyone who’s ever teared up during a cutscene, gotten chills from a boss battle theme, or just wanted to relive the magic of Teyvat without logging in, this album is basically a portable time machine to all your favorite in-game moments.

The album isn’t just a random collection of tracks, either. It’s split into four distinct discs, each with its own vibe that matches specific parts of the game’s lore and story. First up is Origin of Moonlight, which leans into that soft, ethereal Welkin Moon energy—think the quiet, magical moments when you’re stargazing in Mondstadt or having a heartfelt chat with a character under the night sky. Then there’s Confessions of the Magic Mountain, which is probably for all the intense, mysterious mountain exploration bits, like climbing Dragonspine or navigating the hidden caves of Liyue. Next is the Miliastra Concerto, which sounds like it’s made for big, epic boss fights or high-stakes story beats—you know, the kind of tracks that make you want to pump your fist in the air even if you’re just listening on your commute. And finally, For All Yesterdays is the nostalgia disc, packed with tracks that’ll make you go “wait, I remember this!” from old quests or events.

All 92 tracks on the album are original compositions by HOYO-MiX, the team behind Genshin Impact’s iconic music. If you’ve ever wondered why the game’s soundtrack feels so immersive, it’s because HOYO-MiX doesn’t just make background noise—they make music that tells a story. Each track is tailored to fit the exact mood of the moment it’s used in, whether that’s the whimsical chaos of a festival, the tense silence before a big battle, or the warm comfort of a character’s personal quest. It’s no wonder fans have been begging for official OST releases for years; the music is such a big part of what makes Genshin Impact feel special.

Now, you might be wondering where you can get your hands on this masterpiece. Well, the album is available on all the major streaming platforms, so no matter what you use, you can add it to your playlist in seconds. Here’s a quick breakdown of where to listen:

  • Spotify: Perfect for making custom playlists, so you can mix your favorite tracks from The Shimmering Voyage Vol. 6 with other Genshin OSTs or even your own personal favorites.
