Genshin Impact 3.4 maintenance countdown and update time (UTC, EST, and more)

Genshin Impact 3.4 maintenance will begin at 6 am (UTC+8) and should end around 11 am (UTC+8). This short article will include various other time zones equivalent to UTC+8. Travelers should know they cannot play the game once maintenance starts.

The official patch notes for the new Version Update states:

"Update maintenance begins 2023/01/18 06:00 (UTC+8) and is estimated to take 5 hours."

Players will get at least 300 Primogems as compensation for the servers being down during this time. Travelers must be Adventure Rank 5 or above to receive that gift via mail. The mail will expire within 30 days, so don't forget to open it once Genshin Impact 3.4 goes live.
