Genshin Impact 2.5 update maintenance schedule and countdown for all regions

Genshin Impact 2.5 is expected to launch at 11:00 AM (GMT+8) on February 16, 2022, with maintenance beginning at 6:00 AM (GMT+8).

Naturally, that time is going to differ from region to region. All regions are expected to get the update simultaneously, although it's worth mentioning that maintenance can always finish early. Based on past precedence, maintenance will likely begin at 6:00 AM (GMT +8) and should last for five hours.

Hence, all of the times listed in this article are based on the expectation that the maintenance lasts for the full five hours (no more and no less).

What the expected Genshin Impact 2.5 update and maintenance schedule is for all regions

The above countdown will be helpful to players from any region, indicating when maintenance should be finished. If it says "Genshin Impact 2.5 should have started," it means that the scheduled maintenance should be over by then. Otherwise, the player will see how many days, hours, minutes, and seconds are left.

Keep in mind that the above countdown is solely for when the update should go live; maintenance will occur five hours earlier than what's depicted.

However, not every player will want to see a countdown. They may instead wish to know a specific time related to the start of Genshin Impact 2.5. In that case, the following sections will include some times relative to various regions.
