Genshin Impact 4.0 maintenance schedule and server downtime for Fontaine patch

Genshin Impact 4.0 maintenance will begin at 6:00 am (UTC+8) on August 16, 2023, with Fontaine being explorable five hours later at 11:00 am (UTC+8). Note that server downtime is expected to last for five hours, as that's how long it usually takes for maintenance to end in past version updates. This article includes various time zones to be convenient for the reader's schedule, as well as some countdowns tied to the server's downtime.

It is possible that the Fontaine patch could be delayed due to technical mishaps. Everything discussed below is solely if the schedule goes according to plan. Once the As Light Rain Falls Without Reason update goes live, Travelers will finally be able to visit Fontaine, meet the new characters, and enjoy the new plotline.

As Light Rain Falls Without Reason maintenance countdown

The above countdown is for 6:00 am (UTC+8) on August 16, 2023, and it's relevant for all servers. Remember, all regions will undergo maintenance simultaneously with one another. The actual Genshin Impact 4.0 update also goes live for all servers at the same time.

These countdowns should be helpful since they're universal and applicable to all regions.

This countdown is for when Genshin Impact 4.0 maintenance will end at 11:00 am (UTC+8) on August 16, 2023. Stay tuned for any further updates in case miHoYo delays the Fontaine patch. In the meantime, Travelers should expect at least 300 Primogems as compensation for the servers being down.

Note that the game will be unplayable while maintenance is ongoing. You must wait for it to finish, which is when Genshin Impact 4.0 can finally be downloaded and installed.
