Genshin Impact: Everything to know about the 3.3 update schedule, maintenance time, and more

Genshin Impact 3.3 is packed with exciting content, but players will first have to wait for the update maintenance to end. Based on the official announcements from the tweet shown above, the 3.3 update maintenance will begin at 6:00 am (UTC+8) on December 7, 2022.

Since the servers are usually down for a period of five hours, this maintenance is expected to end at 11:00 am (UTC+8). At the end of the maintenance period, players generally receive a minimum of 300 Primogems as compensation from the developers. Once the servers are back online, compensatory rewards will be sent directly to the player's in-game mailbox.

During server maintenance, Genshin Impact players will be unable to access their accounts. It's worth mentioning that, during this server downtime, they can take advantage of the pre-installation function to download the update's content in advance.

Depending on which platform players use, the process will be slightly different. If you're using a PC, you must click the yellow button next to the Launch button on the client launcher. Android and iOS players can complete this process by clicking on the 'Pre-install resource package' button in the login screen.
