Genshin Impact server status: 4.0 maintenance and Downtime duration
The update maintenance for the upcoming version 4.0 patch will begin at 6:00 AM (UTC+8) and is expected to end at 11:00 AM (UTC+8). It will take place on all the servers simultaneously, but the exact timings will differ for each player depending on where they live.
Here is a list of timings of maintenance schedules for gamers in Asia:
- India Standard Time: 3:30 AM - 8:30 AM
- Western Indonesia Time: 5 AM -10 AM
- Malaysia Time: 6 AM - 11 AM
- China Standard Time: 6 AM - 11 AM
- Philippine Standard Time: 6 AM - 11 AM
- Japanese Standard Time: 7 AM - 12 PM
- Korea Standard Time: 7 AM - 12 PM
It is worth mentioning that the servers will be offline for the entire duration of maintenance, so it is advised that players use their resin and complete unfinished quests beforehand.
While it is unlikely, there is a chance that the maintenance might extend due to unforeseen technical issues, which can also delay the 4.0 patch release. When the new update goes online, players will receive 300 Primogems as compensation for time taken in maintenance (60 Primogems per hour), along with an additional 300 Primogems for any in-game bug fixes.
