Genshin Impact maintenance for major version updates almost always starts at 6:00 a.m. server time (UTC+8) and usually lasts about 5 hours, roughly every six weeks when a new version drops.

Usual maintenance timing

  • The standard pattern is: servers go down at 6:00 a.m. (UTC+8) for around 5 hours, then the new version goes live once maintenance ends.
  • In North America and Europe, this typically falls late evening or night of the previous day (for example, around 3 p.m. PDT / 6 p.m. EDT / 11 p.m. BST on the previous date during one 2025 patch).

How often it happens

  • Major Genshin patches follow a roughly six‑week cycle, and each of these updates comes with a scheduled maintenance window where all servers are taken offline.
  • Minor hotfixes sometimes cause brief additional downtime, but the big, clearly announced “maintenance” periods are tied to numbered version updates.

How to know the next maintenance

  • The exact day and times for the next maintenance are always posted in advance in the in‑game notices and on HoYoverse’s official channels (website and social media).
  • Gaming news sites and community posts often mirror these announcements with region‑specific breakdowns and countdowns for when maintenance starts and ends.

What happens during maintenance

  • During maintenance you cannot log in; the servers are fully offline until the update deploys and checks are complete.
  • Players usually receive Primogems as compensation once the servers come back up, scaled to the announced duration of the downtime.

TL;DR: Check the in‑game “Notices” and the official Genshin site or socials for the exact date, but expect maintenance to start at 6:00 a.m. UTC+8 for about 5 hours around each new version launch.
