Genshin Impact 4.6 maintenance countdown: Time until servers are online

Genshin Impact 4.6 is just a few hours from launch, leading HoYoverse to hold scheduled maintenance before release. Players can expect a downtime, which is normal before a major update's release. This ensures a smooth launch without delays or server errors, a standard requirement for a live service game. Thankfully, HoYoverse does not have a history of rough launches, and this time should be no different.

According to the server time, the official servers are scheduled to go live on April 24, at 11 am (UTC +8). Since this is based on the Chinese timezone, this article will help readers understand the release times across all regions.
