Love and Deepspace birthdays: A complete list of LaDS birthday events and rewards

April 13th, 2026: We added details of Sylus' latest birthday celebrations!

Love and Deepspace may feature its fair share of fighting weird aliens with futuristic weapons, but it's still very much a dating and social sim that knows what its players like. And who doesn't love a birthday party?

LaDS' five (and counting) romanceable characters all have their own birthday events that take place at the appropriate time of year, while the player too has the chance to celebrate their real-world birthday in the game (or alternatively, celebrate a birthday on whatever day they felt like pretending was their birthday — your call, really).

Much like your real-world social calendar, there's a fair bit to keep track of. Read on for details of what to expect from Love and Deepspace's birthday events.

Love and Deepspace: Love Interests' Birthdays

Each romanceable character in Love and Deepspace has a canonical birthday. You can view the details on their character card within the About Him tab of the With Him menu, but here's all the key dates for your reference below:

Naturally, no live service game is going to let a main character's birthday pass unremarked, and that's extra true for gacha games. Whenever one of the LaDS lads' birthdays rolls around, there's a whole in-game event for you to celebrate, featuring unique time-limited story missions and rewards, and a special banner for that character's birthday Memories.

April 13th: Sylus' birthday event is live in Love and Deepspace right now, bringing with it a brand new banner and event for 2026, as well as the return of some exclusive outfits and memories you might have missed in 2025!

For LaDS' romanceable characters, birthday events last eight real-world days, with the actual birthday itself usually on the second- or third-to-last day of the event. The event dates have so far stayed the same every year, so happily it's quite easy to predict when your main's next celebration is going to begin.

Love and Deepspace birthday events

While every love interest's birthday event in Love and Deepspace has its own theming based on the character's unique history and personality, there's a clear pattern to what you can expect, which has been tweaked ever so slightly for Year 3:

• A four-part limited-time story series depicting the character's birthday celebrations accompanied by the player.
• A three-part plushie customisation activity, including a match-3 inspired mini-game, unlockable customisation options accompanied by short text stories, and the opportunity to design a plush of the birthday boy with plenty of custom options.
• This replaces a similarly-structured cake-baking activity from Years 1 & 2.
• The opportunity to present him with a birthday cake and receive a video message in return.
• This incorporates elements of both the cake customisation and birthday message activities from Years 1 & 2.
• An event shop using a special currency unique to the event, where you can buy a special outfit and a 3-star birthday memory for the character.
• A limited-time banner where you can pull for a 5-star birthday memory for the character.
• Your customised plushie ornament, which can be placed in player housing as reward for completing the event.
• This replaces your customised cake ornament that could be placed in the With Him menu in Years 1 & 2.

Love and Deepspace: Player Birthday

Players also get to enjoy a week-long birthday event in Love and Deepspace, beginning on the day that you entered as your birthday when setting up your profile, and lasting for a full seven days.

The first time you log-in during this period, you'll be automatically greeted by the character you have the highest Affinity with, who'll wish you happy birthday and give you his gift (a decorative item you can apply in the With Him menu) before you're sent to the main screen to continue playing as usual.

From here, you can select the Birthday button that's appeared at the top of the right-hand menu to view birthday messages and receive gifts from the other four love interests as well in your own time.

From the same tab, you can also claim a piece of birthday mail from the devs, under the guise of the grateful residents of Linkon City. It contains 5 Empyrian Wishes, 500 Diamonds, five bottles of 5-star memory upgrade materials, three Stamina replenishment drinks, and one or two photo studio items.

The Birthday icon on the main game screen disappears after your birthday itself is over, but you can continue to access your birthday page via the Events menu to replay all birthday messages at any time for the duration of the week-long event. You'll also be able to revisit each individual birthday greeting from the relevant character's Love Timeline even after the event ends.

Note that Love and Deepspace uses the Chinese date formatting system, so if you want to enter your real birthday you should be sure to format it as MM/DD (take note, my fellow Europeans!). You can change your birthday later, but it requires a Birthday Edit Pass which can only be bought with real money, so it's worth getting it right the first time if you're fussed.

Odds are it's not your birthday today, but that doesn't mean that LaDS' developers didn't feel like giving you a little gift in the form of a code you can redeem in-game for some freebies. Be sure to check our regularly-updated Love and Deepspace codes list to see if there are any new ones for you to claim!
