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 — you 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:

CharacterBirthdayEvent dates
RafayelMarch 6th2024: Mar. 1-8 2025: Mar. 1-8
SylusApril 18th2025: Apr. 13-20
CalebJune 13th2025: Jun. 8-15

XavierOctober 16th2024: Oct. 10-17 2025: TBC

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.

October 14th update: Xavier’s birthday event is live in Love and Deepspace right now , bringing with it a brand new banner and event for 2025, as well as the return of some exclusive outfits and memories you might have missed in 2024!

For LaDS’ romanceable characters, birthday events last between seven and eight real-world days, with the actual birthday itself usually on the second- or third-to-last day of the event. This makes it slightly tough to predict exactly when future birthday events will appear, since there’s apparently no hard rule as to what day of the week the event starts, how long it will last, or the exact relation of the dates to the actual birthday. However, if you start checking in about a week before a character’s stated birthdate, you will soon see the event crop up.

Various event buttons and icons are displayed across the screen. - 3

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:

  • A four-part limited-time story series depicting the character’s birthday celebrations accompanied by the player.
  • A three-part cake-baking activity, including a mini-game, unlockable short stories, and the opportunity to design a cake with plenty of custom options.
  • The opportunity to write a birthday message in the run-up to the character’s birthday, and receive a video message in return on the day itself until the end of the event.
  • 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.
  • A cake desk ornament as reward for completing the event.

Although the Birthday Gift icon on the main game screen disappears after your birthday has passed, you can continue to access this tab via the Events menu to replay all birthday messages at any time for the duration of the week-long event. |Image credit:VG247 / Papergames / Infold Games

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!
