As previously mentioned, the new patch will go live on March 1 at 11:00 am (UTC+8). With that said, before the update is released, HoYoverse will conduct a short maintenance period, which is estimated to last for five hours, to add new content and features to the game.During this time, all servers will be down and players won't be able to play the game. Hence, it's advised that they complete all unfinished quests and consume their Resins accordingly.While the maintenance will take place across all servers simultaneously, the exact timing will differ for each player based on their time zone. As such, many might want to know the exact timings of the maintenance period. Here's a countdown that shows how much time is left until the release of the new update along with a maintenance schedule for all the regions:PST, UTC -7: February 28 from 3:00 pm to 8:00 pmMST, UTC -6: February 28 from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pmCST, UTC -5: February 28 from 5:00 pm to 10:00 pmEST, UTC -4: February 28 from 6:00 pm to 11:00 pmBST, UTC +1: February 28 from 11:00 pm to 4:00 amCEST, UTC +2: March 1 from 12:00 am to 5:00 amMSK, UTC +3: March 1 from 1:00 am to 6:00 amIST, UTC +5:30: March 1 from 3:30 am to 8:30 amCST, UTC +8: March 1 from 6:00 am to 11:00 amJST, UTC +9: March 1 from 7:00 am to 12:00 pmAEST, UTC +10: March 1 from 8:00 am to 1:00 pmNZST, UTC +12: March 1 from 10:00 am to 3:00 pmIt should be noted that Dehya's and Cyno's banners will be available as soon as the servers are live, which means that this countdown also reflects the time left until their banners arrive. Once the maintenance has been successfully concluded and Genshin Impact 3.5 is released, every single player will receive 600 Primogems as compensation.Furthermore, if the server maintenance exceeds the estimated time of five hours, Genshin Impact players will get 100 more Primogems for every extra hour taken. The rewards will be sent directly to their account and can be collected through the in-game mail system.On a side note, these emails generally expire after 30 days, so players should claim their respective rewards as soon as possible so they don't miss out on these freebies.Genshin Impact 3.5 pre-installation functionGenshin Impact@GenshinImpactPre-Installation Function Now AvailableDear Travelers,The pre-installation function is now available on both PC and mobile platforms.View the full notice here >>> hoyo.link/924LCBAd#GenshinImpact #HoYoverse7096721Pre-Installation Function Now AvailableDear Travelers,The pre-installation function is now available on both PC and mobile platforms.View the full notice here >>> hoyo.link/924LCBAd#GenshinImpact #HoYoverse https://t.co/seAwu2EfijHoYoverse has officially released the pre-installation option for the game's upcoming version.
