Genshin Impact 3.2: Server maintenance start and end time

A recent announcement by Genshin Impact's developer shows that the game will have its next update maintenance on November 2 at 6:00 AM (UTC+8). Similar to previous downtimes, the next iteration will also take around five hours to complete.

Thus, players can expect the process to end at 11:00 AM (UTC+8). However, since the next patch is more akin to a filler update with no new maps, the downtime may end earlier than expected. Travelers can check out the countdown below for the remaining hours on when the process will be over.

Players should remember that once the maintenance starts, all the servers will be shut down and they will be unable to play for a few hours. The developers will compensate them for the incovenience by giving out a total of 600 Primogems.

Genshin Impact players can claim this reward from their in-game mail right after the maintenance is completed and they can access the server again.

Travelers can take advantage of the pre-installation function that speeds up the download process after the maintenance update is completed by downloading part of the resources for version 3.2 in advance. However, only PC and mobile gamers can use the pre-installation capability; PS4 and PS5 players are not eligible.

For PC platforms, a Game Pre-Installation button will appear to the left of the Launch button once their Launcher has been fully updated. To obtain the newest game resources, simply click on the aforementioned icon.

Travelers should remember that if they choose to launch the pre-installation function, they can still play the game while downloading the resources. But they will have to make sure they have a strong network connection because the download will consume a certain quantity of network data.
