Update countdown to track the new patch release

Here is a countdown that Genshin Impact fans can refer to and track the release of the version 3.5 update. It should be noted that this countdown shouldn't be confused with the update maintenance. The countdown above is scheduled to hit zero at 11:00 am (UTC+8) on March 1, 2023.

Fans on all servers can use this universal countdown to see how much time remains until the patch 3.5 update is released. As long as the countdown states "Time left until v3.5 update," it indicates that there's still time before the patch release. Similarly, when the countdown states "New patch update is available now", it would mean that the new update has been released and is ready to be downloaded.

With the 3.5 update so close to its official launch date, officials have also released a pre-installation feature. This is a recurring feature that developers enable before version updates. This allows fans to download the majority of the content in advance, allowing for a smoother user experience when the update is finally released.
