HoYoverse just flipped the creative switch in Genshin Impact, and it’s bigger than anything we’ve seen before. The upcoming Genshin Impact New UGC (User-Generated Content) game mode, codenamed Miliastra (or Thousand Stars), is set to be Genshin’s boldest move yet.
Forget domains and teapots, where this is your sandbox, your stage, your rules. Here, we give you all the details that have leaked so far and what you can expect from this ambitious new system.
What is Genshin Impact’s UGC Mode?
So, first things first, what is this mode?
UGC stands for User-Generated Content, aka tools that let you create and share your levels, quests, and even characters inside Genshin Impact.

This is kinda like the best bits of Roblox, Fortnite Creative, and The Sims… all wrapped in Teyvat’s beautiful cel-shaded wrapper. That’s the idea behind Miliastra.
The mode is technically launching as a separate sandbox platform (but it’ll share assets with the main game), so you won’t need much extra storage space to dive in. And, it’ll live right next to your main Genshin launcher.

Genshin Impact New UGC Game Mode Leaks: What to Expect?
According to multiple trusted leakers, Genshin Impact is gearing up to drop its most ambitious content yet, a fully-fledged User-Generated Content (UGC) mode that goes far beyond anything we’ve seen before.

Dubbed Miliastra or Thousand Stars, this game mode is more than another event or gimmick. It’s a massive, creator-focused expansion that hands the reins over to you, the player.
Expect deep character customization, build-your-own adventures, collaborative multiplayer lobbies, and even its own gacha and battle pass system.
Let’s dive deeper into what makes this new mode so game-changing.
New Game Mode, A True Creative Playground
Leaks say Miliastra is stacked with powerful tools, making this less of a side mode and more of a game within a game. Check out what’s coming:
- Full Level Editing Tools: Parkour maps, combat zones, lore-rich quests, you name it.
- Custom Events: Want to make a tower defense? A murder mystery questline? Or just recreate Liyue but make it…flying? Go for it.
- Simulanka-Inspired Visuals: Early peeks show a vibrant, dreamy hub world, possibly pulling from Genshin 4.8’s event aesthetics.
UGC Characters & Customization
Yep, this is the big one. For the first time, you can fully customize a Genshin character from scratch.

During beta tests, players could only create female avatars, but male options are rumored to be available at launch. Customization includes:
- Face & Body: Skin tone, eye shape, hair style, makeup, body type.
- Outfits: Tops, bottoms, footwear, accessories (backwear, headgear, earrings–you get the idea).
- Elemental Affinity: Switch between elements like Pyro or Hydro on the fly (!).
It’s all part of a separate gacha system, but instead of pulling for characters, you’ll be pulling for cosmetics and gear. That’s right, there’s even talk of a UGC-exclusive battle pass.

Multiplayer Madness: 20-Player Lobbies & Social Features
You won’t be creating in a vacuum. Miliastra supports public lobbies for up to 20 players, and private lobbies for 12, perfect for running your custom events or exploring wild maps built by others.
Additional UGC multiplayer features:
- Up to 8-player teams
- Real-time exploration & combat
- Interactive community templates.
Gameplay Tweaks
Leaked gameplay footage shows several unique mechanics exclusive to Miliastra:
- 300 Stamina Cap – No more gasping halfway up a cliff.
- Dedicated Battle Pass – New missions and cosmetics tied to the mode.
- Independent Paimon Menu – Streamlined UI designed specifically for UGC creation.
- Editable Maps – Want to recreate Mondstadt as a battle royale map? Be our guest.
First UGC Character Leak

One character seen in early test footage resembles Keqing but with a fresh look and original animations.
It’s unclear if these UGC characters will be earnable, gacha-exclusive, or community-shared, but one thing’s for sure:
Genshin’s going from a set cast to an open-ended character creation experience, and that’s huge.
