Genshin Impact version 2.3 is coming in a few days, and the developers will soon begin the update maintenance. Genshin Impact's official website revealed that the update maintenance starts on 24 November 2021 at 06:00 am (UTC +8).

The update maintenance is estimated to take five hours to complete and might end at 11:00 am (UTC +8), where the servers will open as usual, and players can start playing the new version.

To compensate, players will get 60 Primogems for every hour that the servers are down. Even if the update is completed early, the amount of compensation will not be changed. In other words, players will obtain at least 300 Primogems after the maintenance is finished.
