Genshin Impact maintenance duration, server downtime, and 3.4 patch time for all regions

Genshin Impact 3.4 is scheduled to undergo maintenance at 6:00 am (UTC+8) on January 18, 2023. The actual version update will become playable five hours later. Thus, players can expect to enjoy all the new content around 11:00 am (UTC+8).

The maintenance period has historically lasted five hours for previous game patches. Hence, it's logical to assume that the same thing will happen with the new version update. Travelers should know that they cannot play the game while the servers are down during this time.
