Time until Genshin Impact 5.5 update releases

The upcoming Genshin Impact 5.5 update is scheduled to release on March 26, 2025, at 11 am (UTC+8). Before this, there will be a five-hour server maintenance period during which all servers for the game will be offline. This means players will not be able to log in to Genshin Impact during that period. Once maintenance is over, the game will be updated to the latest version, and players can once again log in and experience all the new content.

Genshin Impact 5.5 will feature new character and weapon banners, which will go live at the same time as the new version releases. Since this is a major version update, it will be launched simultaneously across all servers.

This article provides more information regarding the exact release timings for the Genshin Impact 5.5 update, along with a countdown to help keep track of the time remaining before it goes live.
