Genshin Impact 2.6 is yet another exciting update for Travelers to look forward to, yet many of them wonder when it will come out. They should know that maintenance begins at 6.00 AM (UTC+8) on March 30, 2022, and is expected to last for five hours. Thus, the game update should come out at 11:00 AM (UTC+8).

Daylight Savings happened in several parts of the world this month, so some Travelers might be thrown off as a result. Thankfully, all servers for Genshin Impact 2.6 will go live at the same time, making a simple countdown suffice on this occasion.

Recent updates have always had maintenance start at 6.00 AM (UTC+8), with the update usually going live around 11.00 AM (UTC+8). Hence, Travelers should expect something similar with Genshin Impact 2.6.
