Genshin Impact 3.6 expected release date and time

Genshin Impact officials are currently following the 6-week cycle for their version updates. If they continue to follow this without any further delay, the latest patch will enter Phase II in a week and last for 20 days.

Hence, the version 3.6 update can be anticipated to launch at 11 AM (UTC+8) on April 12, 2023.

It is worth mentioning that on the day of the patch release, officials will shut down the game servers for maintenance. The maintenance will begin at 6 AM (UTC+8) on April 12 and last approximately five hours.

During server downtime, gamers cannot access their accounts but will be compensated with free Primogems later for this inconvenience.
