Genshin Impact 3.2: 60 Primogems to be distributed for every hour the servers are down

The tweet above is an official announcement regarding Genshin Impact 3.2 update maintenance. The new patch update will be launched after the maintenance is scheduled to begin at 6 am (UTC+8) on November 02, 2022. The servers will shut down during the maintenance break. The maintenance usually lasts around five hours.

Players can use the countdown above to keep track of server maintenance. It will count down to November 02, 2022, at 6:00 am (UTC+8) and will not be affected by daylight saving time.

It is important to note that players will automatically be logged out of the game when maintenance begins. They won't be able to log in again until the servers are back online. This countdown will help players plan their playtime in Genshin Impact to complete any pending story quests, events, resins, and daily commissions.

It's become standard for Genshin Impact officials to compensate their player base with free Primogems in exchange for time lost due to server maintenance. 60 Primogems will be distributed for every hour the servers are down.

Hence, players can expect 300 free Primogems to be waiting for them in the game mailbox. The rewards have a 30-day expiry date so make sure to claim them without delay.

The countdown above indicates when the server will be up again after maintenance. The countdown ends at 11:00 am (UTC+8) on November 02, 2022. This will also showcase when the patch 3.2 update is released, together with new characters and weapon banners.
